Dream Oaks Camp

At Foundation for Dreams, we believe a child’s unique abilities should be not only recognized, but celebrated. Our program, Dream Oaks Camp, provides an exceptional camping experience for children with special needs and chronic illnesses ages 7-17. Each camp session has a theme and activities that are designed and tailored to meet the needs of each child we serve by modifying strategies to include participation of all campers, despite their physical, emotional or developmental challenges. We plan these with the mindset that each child will participate, learn new skills and take on many new challenges by focusing on what the child can do, rather than their limitations.

We use research-based practices to monitor and facilitate specific targeted goals identified by parents, physicians, teachers and/or caregivers that fall within 4 domains. These domains include: social interaction, activities of daily living, health and hygiene skills and/or behavior strategies.
