RAD Camp

Who could forget our incredible Kitchen Angels?! Join us in saying THANK YOU to our incredible Kitchen Angels for supporting RAD Camp's special diets and meal duties! Whether it was handing out trays, refreshing lemonade, or serving tasty food, their dedication ensured that meal times ran smoothly and safely. 🍽️ Over 180 Kitchen Angels across both camps selflessly dedicated their time to keep Camp fueled and energized so we could have fun all week! We love our Kitchen Angels! 😇

American Sign Language is a "hands-on" experience, and we brought it to our programs this year! The addition of this program helps our campers and counselors create a deeper understanding of language and overall communication, which can improve cognitive skills and stimulate conversation. We are trying to break down communication barriers to create a stronger, more inclusive community. 🤟👋 Throughout the week, we enjoyed enhancing our signing skills and exchanging knowledge, covering everything from learning the colors and the alphabet to signing our favorite musical songs! We were incredibly lucky to have added the American Sign Language program this year as we focused on developing our camp activities and incorporating beneficial classes for everyone at RAD Camp. We are grateful for our volunteers who dedicated their time to lead this program and educate us about the importance of ASL and how to broaden our communication skills. 💜

How RADical is this?! We had the chance to celebrate and highlight everyone's talents, interests and passions at our RAD Camp Talent Showcase. The diverse abilities and skills our campers share with us help foster a deeper sense of connection and understanding within our RAD community. Whether through talents showcased at events or daily interactions, promoting self-expression and acceptance contributes to a happier and more inclusive community for all. We were so grateful everyone could join us to revel in all the talent - thank you to everyone who cheered on our amazing friends! 👏🎭🎤

We've got some RAD Nurses! 🩺 From giving out medications and helping with breathing treatments to providing band-aids and everything in between, they help create a nurturing environment where our campers and volunteers feel safe and cared for. Thank you for being the guiding light, the soothing presence and the dedicated caregivers our campers and team rely on. We are so fortunate that many of our nurses generously donate their hours back to RAD. They are a HUGE part of what makes RAD Camp so special!

Our caregivers are our why - why we work so hard to support them!! To the selfless caregivers who trust us to look after their loved ones each summer, we appreciate your dedication and willingness to trust RAD Camp and our mission to provide you much-needed respite. You selflessly make everyday life happen for our campers, and we want to thank you by giving you a trusted and welcoming space where you know your loved ones are embraced regardless of diagnoses or descriptions. You take care of our buddies and we get the pleasure of creating a memorable experience for them like you do every single day. Thank you for staying RAD! 🩷🩵💙 Want to learn more about RAD Camp?
