CAMP PROGRAM INFO: Supporting families’ dreams — Our campers’ families often describe Summer Camp at Camp Baker as “a lifesaver” and “a relief.” Caregivers are grateful for both the adaptive nature of this camp and the respite it provides. To help us reach more families in need, we offer financial assistance through “camperships” (scholarship funds).
Customized for comfort — Summer Camp typically runs from June to August, offering eight weeks of camp for adults and two weeks for children. Both overnight and day camp options are available so everyone can relax and enjoy what Summer Camp has to offer.
Excellence in action — SOAR365’s Summer Camp is fully accredited by the American Camp Association, which ensures that our current practices reflect the most up-to-date, research-based standards in the industry.
OTHER CAMP INFO: Accessible fun for everyone – While there are many summer camp options throughout Central Virginia, options designed for kids and adults with disabilities are hard to find. At SOAR365, we believe no one should have to miss out on all the fun that camp has to offer.
Cultural education - Our counselors come from around the world, giving our campers exposure to a broad range of cultures and backgrounds. Many are being trained in disability-related fields.
