Camp Champion

Our week-long day program for adolescents and young adults with disabilities.

Hosted every July in Wheaton, Illinois, this unique program serves as both a day camp and a vocational program depending on participant needs.

Our program is designed with the needs of our participants in mind so that everyone is able to enjoy their experience.

Our camp staff includes a team of volunteers, including special education teachers, therapists, paraprofessionals, and family members, all dedicated to our program mission of providing a safe, structured and supportive environment.
