The mission of the Adventure Amputee Camp is to encourage children with amputations or limb differences to stretch their potential and imagination, and explore all that is possible.
Camp activities may include river rafting, high
ropes and waterskiing. All activities are modified as necessary
to meet the ability and interest level of each camper. Other activities
(which can include bowling, crafts, games, swimming, and horseback
riding) may be less physically stressful, yet provide many campers
an experience that was previously untried, unobtainable, or unimaginable.
The physical challenges and peer support frees
children from self or societal imposed restraints. Volunteers
with amputations are role-models of adults who are living productive
and fulfilled lives.
The
Adventure Amputee Camp provides children with amputations the
opportunity to nurture the beliefs and behaviors that many things
are possible.
