Krewe de Camp
Dates for 2012:
May 27 – June 2
Krewe de Camp is an overnight camp, FREE OF CHARGE, for children (6 – 18 years old) and adults (18 years and older) with cerebral palsy or other developmental disabilities. Each camper is paired with one or two high school volunteers who assist them with their day-to-day activities. All high school volunteers are aided by adults with several years of camp service.
Krewe de Camp offers a traditional camp experience, including arts-and-crafts, outdoor games, and swimming. Campers and attendants participate in fun night activities, such as a costume dance, a talent show, an outdoor fair and live music concerts.
This is an excellent opportunity for high school students to fulfill their service hour requirements in a fun-loving atmosphere.
Our Sponsors
The majority of our funding comes from the generosity of individual donors. If you would like to become a donor, click here to see how you can help.
However, there are other companies / individuals who help to make camp the great experience it is. We would appreciate if you extend your support to these people as well.
A Special thank you to WAKA New Olreans
2 separate WAKA Kickball Leagues have been MAJOR donors to camp 2 years in a row.
