It’s a commitment to inclusivity that sees all physical, sensory, or cognitive differences not as barriers, but as opportunities for enriching the camp experience for everyone. Embodying accessibility means creating an environment where differences are celebrated and accommodated in thoughtful ways, ensuring that every camper and staff member feels welcomed, respected, and integral to the camp community. 

Making camps accessible creates an environment where all youth, families, and communities feel valued, included, and empowered to engage in every aspect of camp life.
