2016 CAMP RILEY APPLICATIONS DUE

We hear from our Camp Riley campers every summer about the difference camp makes. Camp Riley empowers children with physical disabilities by providing enriching, life-changing experiences in a traditional camping environment tailored to their individual needs. For 61 years, campers have shattered perceived limitations, met new friends and reached greater achievements, allowing them to return home with an increased sense of independence and confidence. Registration is now open for all Camp Riley sessions ( RileyKids.org/Camp). Camper applications are due by May 2.

Our newest program, Beyond the Woods, is for teens with disabilities who plan to pursue post-secondary education. Beyond the Woods has three key components: ·

Summer Camp: Campers not only experience the fun of camp but are also introduced to FranklinCovey’s 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens. Here campers learn self-mastery and personal leadership skills. Each day traditional camp activities reinforce the 7 Habits, helping campers transcend perceived limitations and focus on life’s possibilities. ·
Mentors: Campers can choose to be matched with an adult mentor who has personal experience with a physical disability and who will encourage the camper throughout the year. ·
Parents, Physicians, Teachers: Campers’ parents, teachers and physicians are invited to be engaged with the camper providing additional support and encouragement.

For more information about Camp Riley, please contact Olivia Mozzi at 317.808.8557 or OMozzi@Rileykids.org or visit RileyKids.org/Camp.
