Camps for Individuals with Disabilities

It’s that time of year! Registration for summer camps usually open January through March. Camp dates tend to fill up fast, so we offer a list of many camps across WA State that serve individuals with disabilities, from pre-K to adult.

Did you know…camps aren’t just for summer! Many of these camps operate during the school year for weekends, after-school, and school vacation dates.  Along with the camps listed below, local YMCA and Boys & Girls Clubs have options that fit into families’ schedules year-round.

Some of the camps listed below were created specifically to serve campers with disabilities or certain medical conditions. Others serve campers with and without disabilities. Both types of camps are likely to ask families for information about their child or other family member to make sure camp staff can support them.
