By May 28, 2015December 27th, 2021No Comments
remy Flicking of North For Myers waterskied for his first time Saturday, May 23, 2015. Adults with disabilities were given a waterski experience, many for the first time, as part of their stay with Trailways Camp. The adaptive waterskiing was made possible with a partnership with Southern Extreme Water Ski Show Team and UCanSki2. These groups made it possible for all to ski safely regardless of physical ability. Trailways Camp is a sleep-away camp for adults with disabilities held at Riverside Retreat in LaBelle, Fl. The camp is administered by Goodwill Industries of Southwest Florida, in partnership with the Robert V. & Benjamin G. Miller Fund.

Enabling Adults with Special Needs to Grow

Trailways Camps was established to develop and provide camping experiences for adults with special needs and respite for their caregivers. Campers thrive on having fun, friends and support while parents and caregivers are able to rest, relax and enjoy some time for themselves. Our campers are encouraged to participate in all activities. We’ve found ways to adapt and adjust for each person, and we cheer them on to victories big and small. Camp is a place where everyone is special.
