Camp Trailblazers

OG CAMP with Camp Trailblazers is a three-day summer day camp for people ages 15+ with cognitive and physical disabilities. Designed to fit the needs of participants, this three-day summer camp experience allows opportunities to surpass challenges and discover new abilities. With The Forge as the adventure destination, campers will experience exhilarating activities such as kayaking and canoeing, archery, outdoor laser tag, a netted obstacle course, inflatable obstacle courses, nature scavenger hunts, biking and ziplining.

OG CAMP offers an opportunity to be “Original and Old Fashioned” campers in a campsite with a campfire and songs. A special guest will lead singalong fun and s’mores.

Campers must provide their own packed lunch, snack, water bottle and drinks. 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 ages 15 and older, 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. The paddlesports area has an accessibility ramp with railings. At this time, all campers wanting to zip line must be able to wear a harness and walk up the stairs on the Skyscraper Tower. Counselors are patient and kind when guiding campers in activities. Campers can move at their own pace and comfort level. Campers who require assistance with toileting or eating must bring a helper, assistant or aide. Participants must not have significant behavioral issues that would prove too challenging for the camp counselors.
