Krewe de Camp is an overnight camp, FREE OF CHARGE, for children (6 – 18 years old) and adults (18 years and older) with cerebral palsy or other developmental disabilities. Each camper is paired with one or two high school volunteers who assist them with their day-to-day activities. All high school volunteers are aided by adults with several years of camp service.
Krewe de Camp offers a traditional camp experience, including arts-and-crafts, outdoor games, and swimming. Campers and attendants participate in fun night activities, such as a costume dance, a talent show, an outdoor fair and live music concerts.
This is an excellent opportunity for high school students to fulfill their service hour requirements in a fun-loving atmosphere.
