The Camp for All Abilities
August 4th – August 6th, 2025
ROCK n’ ROLL with us at Camp Trailblazers! This is a three-day Summer Day Camp for ages 15+ with cognitive and physical disabilities. Designed to fit the needs of those with special needs, this summer camp experience allows opportunities to surpass challenges and turn them into super abilities! Experience exhilarating activities like kayaking, canoeing, archery, outdoor laser tag, netted obstacle course, inflatable obstacle courses, nature scavenger hunts, paddlesports, dino karts and ziplining.
The Mount at The Forge: Lemont Quarries will be the stage for our own ROCK STARS Talent Show. Campers are divided into camp groups and will have the opportunity to showcase everyone’s talents as the group creates their own talent show scene. Each day at camp, there will be time set aside to practice for the show and after lunch on Day Three, the show will come to life!
Campers must provide their own sack/packed lunch, snack and water bottle/drinks to camp.There are no heating facilities to heat up food or drink at camp. Camp Trailblazers is a place to learn new skills, make friends and have fun being active outside! Campers must be age 15+ and have an intellectual or physical disability to participate and be able to communicate their needs and desires.
Trails and pathways are easy to maneuver and are relatively flat. Paddlesports has an accessibility ramp with railings. At this time all campers wanting to Zip must be able to wear a harness and walk up the stairs on our Skyscraper Tower. Counselors are experts in patience and kindness when guiding campers in activities.
Campers can move at their own pace and comfort level. Campers that require assistance with toileting or eating must bring a helper/assistant/aide. Must not have significant behavioral issues that would prove too challenging for young adult camp counselors.
