The benefits of that experience — confidence-building, becoming more independent, making new friends — stay with us the rest of our lives. Unfortunately, many people with disabilities don’t have the opportunity to take part in this summer tradition.
That’s why The Arc’s summer camp program exists. Every year more than 300 individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities enjoy a week-long overnight camping experience operated by The Arc NLC at Camp Harkness in Waterford, Connecticut.
