Notes

The Adventure Amputee Camp, Inc., provides children with amputations the opportunity to stretch their reality and imagination of what is possible to achieve.

Camp activities may include river rafting, high ropes and water-skiing. 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.
