Whether your ideal camp is relaxing or adventurous, social or therapeutic, entertaining or educational, we have many options for you. Our blend of traditional and dynamic programs continue the legacy of Camp Courage and Camp Friendship through the parent company, True Friends.

We continue to enhance and expand our services. We’ve also made it easier to sign up for camp using our online application system. With the True Strides therapeutic riding program, the two multi-sensory environments, the new sensory playground or the robotics session, you will find new and innovative ways to experience camp. As always, we put care and safety first. Our staff are highly trained to provide the guidance, supervision and the personal care participants need.

The heart of our mission is providing life-changing experiences that enhance independence and self-esteem for children and adults with disabilities. That’s a tall order, but as many families know, camp is where it can happen. There is something different and special about the programs at True Friends. No matter what session you choose, woven into each program and service is the common thread of building and renewing friendships. We look forward to seeing our old friends and making many new ones!
