Bradford Woods hosts many groups throughout the summer, and are well known as the best residential camping facility in the Midwest available to youth with disabilities. Many of these are sponsored by Riley Childrens Foundation. One such program is the award-winning week long Camp Kan Du, which is designed for youth whose cognitive level is assessed between 0 to 48 months.
Camp About Face, sponsored by the Craniofacial Clinic and Riley Childrens Foundation, is a week-long camp for children with craniofacial anomalies. Camp About Face is attended by youth from all over the nation. These are just a sample of the camps we currently offer for youth with disabilities and their families!
We also provide an environmental education multiple-day experience each summer for Monroe County Community School Corporations Adventure Camp Program. Children enjoy the 2,500 acres of Indiana woodlands while learning about their environment and the flora and fauna that inhabit it. Canoeing, archery, and swimming are a few of the other fun activities children take part in.
