Camp Fatima offers two separate camps for children with disabilities.
Special Needs Week: Special Needs Week is a co-ed program offered at Camp Fatima to provide a traditional camping experience to campers ages 9+ who have mild to moderate intellectual and developmental disabilities. The camper to staff ratio is four-to-one to ensure close, personal attention. The daily program is designed to help campers make new friends, enjoy outdoor activities, develop new skills and build self-confidence. Campers must be able to dress, eat, toilet and provide personal care for themselves with minimal supervision; walk unassisted; and be able to communicate his or her daily needs to the staff. Please contact Andrew Thibault for more information
Exceptional Citizens Week: This is for campers with moderate-to-severe disabilities. This camp has a 1:1 camper:counselor ratio which allows for closer interaction and independence of activity if the camper so desires. For more than 100 campers, this one week at Camp Fatima is a highlight in their lives. They are treated as exceptional citizens: all activities are centered around their interests and they are catered to by a qualified, enthusiastic and energetic volunteer staff. Camper's enrollment is entirely free, funded by generous contributions - both large and small from many different people. In its nearly 40 years of operation, E.C. Week has made a dream come true for more than 3,000 campers.
