There are many other resources out there to help as well. For example, NCHPAD has produced a fact sheet entitled Camp Resources, which is a list of camps offered around the country for individuals with disabilities. Other resources that are available are online search directories for camps. These directories can help you find the camp that fits your exact needs and wants.
