Adventure Camp

 Adventure Camp is a day camp for children and teens ages 5-21 with intellectual and related developmental disabilities. Siblings may attend as well if space allows. Adventure Camp is held Monday through Friday during spring and summer school breaks in order provide recreational day care for campers and respite to caregivers in a fun, safe and experiential environment. Camp hours are 9:00 am to 3:00 pm with extended care available. Activities include crafts, games, entertainment, swimming, free play and field trips. Currently, Adventure Camp is held in Dallas, McKinney, Plano and Rockwall in collaboration with community partners. Spring dates coincide with Dallas Public Schools, Plano ISD and McKinney ISD. Summer camps are held concurrently in two-week sessions throughout the summer (with the exception of the week of July 4th). Space is limited to 25 per session. Camper to staff ratio is generally 4:1 and is often supplemented by volunteers as needed. Adventure Camp provides a semi-structured environment as well as opportunities for free play and leadership. Camp fees are similar to daycare fees. Scholarships are available on a limited basis. For more information, or to apply, contact April Allen, aallen@arcdallas.org or (214) 634-9810, ext 106.
