Going away to camp can provide some of the most memorable
experiences for both children and adults.
Having disabilities shouldn't prevent anyone from creating these
cherished memories. That’s why Camp
Paivika exists: it offers children, teens, and adults with disabilities a traditional camp experience delivered
with nurturing support.
Camp Paivika offers a broad range of recreational and socialization programs for children and adults with physical and developmental disabilities. Our programs allow
campers to make friends, try new things and become more confident.
Families are often surprised to find loved ones returning home with a new,
can-do spirit, independently choosing clothes for the day, tying their shoes or
brushing their teeth without assistance. And, of course, families appreciate
the respite they can take from the rigors and challenges of providing 24/7
care.
The quality and variety of choices we offer is second to
none. AbilityFirst provides continuity
of age-appropriate programs, appealing to diverse individual interests and
needs - beginning in childhood and continuing throughout an adult’s life.
Please check out our Camp Paivika website to see more about our wonderful camp, which is located in
Southern California’s beautiful San Bernardino Mountains, and has been operated
by AbilityFirst since 1947. We’ve
helped thousands of children and adults with disabilities make friends, try new
things and become more confident and independent. And, as campers enjoy
their Paivika experience, families can rest assured knowing that their loved
ones are safe, cared for and occupied with a full slate of fun.
AbilityFirst
stands for, and alongside, people with disabilities and their families. We offer a broad range of programs and
services to help children and adults with developmental
disabilities reach their personal best.
