Things IPUL Shared:

Boise - AdVenture Teen Summer Camp

Boise - AdVenture Teen Summer Camp

We are excited for the return of the AdVenture Teen Summer Camp!

Boise Parks and Recreation’s AdVenture program is hosting a summer camp for teens with disabilities (age 13-20 years). The camp meets weekly from June 5-August 4 (excluding the week of 4th of July). Teens can sign up for one week or the entire summer. We will go on outings in the community, bowling, swimming, riding the City bus, art projects and more! The camp meets from 9 a.m. – 3 p.m.

The staff to participant ratio will be 1:5 and we can take a maximum of 10 participants (if participants are not independent in self-care, they can bring an aide to accompany them). The camp costs $86/week and scholarships are available.
