Summer Camp Programs for Children and Adults with Disabilities

At Camp Cheerful, children and adults with disabilities participate in a variety of recreational activities that encourage confidence and independence, and create opportunities for lifelong friendships while having fun and improving their quality of life. Campers enjoy all the traditional camp activities including: hiking, swimming, fishing, canoeing, arts and crats, nature study activities, games, campfire activities, music and sports.  We also offer year-round Therapeutic Horseback Riding sessions and a new state-of-the-art, fully handicap-accessible High Ropes challenge course during camp sessions. In 2010, Camp Cheerful was selected by the National Association of Special Education Teachers (NASET) as a NASET Blue Ribbon Camp, one of only four camps nationwide that achieved this distinction.

• Day and Residential Camp
• Weekend Respite Camp
• Camp for Children with Autism

 

The Achievement Centers for Children’s recreational programs at Camp Cheerful boast a diverse professional staff led by a Vice President of Recreation and Sports who has an M.B.A. and over 11 years of experience supervising recreational programs for children with special needs.

Camp Cheerful is one of the only camps in Ohio with a master’s level Licensed Independent Social Worker who also has over 10 years experience working in a camp setting.
