Adaptive Sports Camp
Our Adaptive Sports Camp is a one-week day camp for youths living with disabilities. Our coaches and volunteers teach sports, life, and leadership skills while promoting confidence and independence. Children will set personal goals and strive to reach levels they never thought possible. Camp is not all about sports. Children will also interact with others with similar abilities and create friendships that last a lifetime.
From beginner to expert, all abilities are encouraged to participate. Children and instructors empower each other to work harder and dream bigger about sports and beyond.
Date:
Monday, July 27 – Friday, July 31, 2026
Location:
University of Saint Joseph

Camp offers two distinct tracks to support a range of abilities while fostering a unified experience. The Adaptive Sports Track provides opportunities for children with physical disabilities to participate in sport-specific activities. The Neurodiverse Track offers a welcoming and flexible environment designed to support children on the autism spectrum.
No matter which track a camper is signed up for, each participant will engage in activities and structures that best promote their success, with programming tailored to meet their unique needs.
