The Camp/Shore summer program provides an age-appropriate socialization experience for anyone over the age of 18. The first four weeks of the summer are designated as ‘Camp’ weeks, which cater to those individuals who would prefer a structured, summer camp type of atmosphere. These weeks are based almost entirely at our home in Rio Grande, NJ, offering activities such as arts & crafts, music, sports, swimming, etc.
These activities follow a theme that changes each week to make it fun and interactive. The remaining 7 weeks of the summer are designated as ‘Shore’ weeks, providing a vacation-like atmosphere, with outings to Atlantic City, the beach, Wildwood boardwalks, nature centers, and many more!
Helping Hands, Inc. is offering our summer residential/vacation camp for individuals with intellectual disabilities. ALL WEEKS WILL BE BASED at the property in Rio Grande, New Jersey. Cost is $1250.00/week.
