Camp Butwin welcomes, supports and includes children and teens
of all abilities. At Camp Butwin, abilities are emphasized-not disabilities.
Participants have the opportunity to develop friendships with peers,
experience and learn new leisure and recreation skills, gain self-confidence
and self-esteem, and have fun as they take part in a full range of camp activities.
Participants meet with the Director of Inclusion and Accessibility Services
to develop an individualized inclusion plan, which may include but is not limited to:
- A recreation and leisure assessment
- One-to-one assistance from a skilled Inclusion Facilitator
- Environmental adaptation
- Positive behavior supports
- Adaptive equipment
Each child will be included as a member of a group with same age peers.
Camp staff receives training on disability awareness, behavior support,
program modification, and how to create a fully inclusive and welcoming group.
