Type: Overnight Camp
Age Range: Ages 13-18
Supported Disibilities: Developmental Disabilities/Delays
EmpowHer Camp is a fun and exciting one year program for youth* with disabilities ages 13-18. EmpowHer Camp starts with one week of adventurous camping in the Adirondacks where we explore nature, make friends, and laugh around the campfire. We also connect with mentors who will help us set goals and achieve them! After our camping trip is over, you’ll go home and work on a project that interests you and you’ll talk with your mentor every month! Next summer, Young Leaders (what we call our participants) and their mentors go on a trip to Washington, D.C.! In D.C. you will reunite with your friends and mentor, present your project, and explore our nation’s capital!
*For the purpose of this program, the terminology “youth”, “young women”, and “girls” include cis or trans girls or other feminine aligned people.
Cost:
The majority of the funds needed to run camp are raised by Disability EmpowHer Network through donations, grants, and corporate sponsorships. Young Leaders are required to fundraise in order to demonstrate their commitment to attending EmpowHer Camp & practice their communication skills!
Young Leaders must:
Raise $500 by July 2023. These funds will be directly allocated to the cost of the Young Leader's participation in EmpowHer Camp.
Raise $1000 between August 2023 and June 1, 2024. Young Leaders will work with their mentors to raise the $1000. The funds will be allocated to the cost of the Young Leader's participation in the D.C. trip.
Raise funds from a minimum of three different donors each year. Young Leaders may not ask their parents/guardians to cover the full cost of either fundraising goal. Instead, Young Leaders must use their communication skills to raise the funds from multiple different sources such as family members, friends, local businesses.

Dealing with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) as a child is even more challenging. That is why the Crohn’s & Colitis Foundation proudly established Camp Oasis exclusively for children with IBD over 25 years ago. These summer camp programs enrich the lives of children with Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis by providing them with a safe and supportive camp community. Our residential camp sessions offer a variety of fun activities, outdoor adventures, and educational opportunities that will build confidence and facilitate new friendships. We also recognize that not all families will be comfortable sending their child to in-person camp which is why we offer CampOasis@Home. This virtual program offers interactive sessions that provide many of the same benefits of residential camp including making new friends, trying new things, and having lots of fun!
Cost:
$400 - attendance scholarships and travel stipends are available to those who qualify
