Where Every Camper Belongs

An inclusive summer camp in the woods where fun, friendship, and confidence grow every day.

✤ What We Do

Adventure. Friendship. Pure Camp Joy.

At Camp Jaycee, every day is packed with fun, purpose, and discovery.
 Our highly trained counselors lead campers through a blend of sports, arts, and outdoor experiences tailored for all ability levels.


A typical day includes:

  • Morning adventures: soccer, dodgeball, or creative crafts
  • Afternoon excitement: swimming, paddle-boating, or dance
  • Evening magic: campfires, talent shows, and theme nights


We focus on ability, not limitation — building independence, teamwork, and lifelong memories under the open sky.
