What We Do:
Camp Tuolumne Trails’ offers short-term overnight summer programs for individuals with disabilities of all ages. CTT promotes a typical summer camp experience in a safe and accessible setting. Campers are able to socialize, practice independence, and advocate for their own needs in a safe and accommodating environment.
Campers and counselors sleep in fully accessible cabins and participate in a variety of traditional camp activities including arts and crafts, campfires and sing-alongs, archery, field games, naturalist walks and scavenger hunts, gold-panning, hayrides, camp-outs, and many more.
Prior to our campers’ arrival, our seasonal staff participate in 10 full days of staff training. We train our staff in leading activities, service provider “do’s and don’ts”, personal care, and most importantly, how to have fun and create fun for our campers.
