WELCOME! Join us on another adventure with Camping Unlimited's Year-Round Programs for children and adults with disabilities. We are excited to announce or very special event for the weekend of November 15-17. Our Staff and Volunteers, will host a warm and welcoming Pre-Thanksgiving weekend filled with many social activities for our "Campers" who may have symptoms of Autism, Down Syndrome, Cerebral Palsy and other challenges. Our event will be held at our beautiful Camp Krem in the Santa Cruz Mountains. Together, we will enjoy music, arts and crafts activities, hiking if weather permits, games, talent show, cooking and preparing a wonderful Thanksgiving Feast together for our Saturday night dinner! For this event, and all other year-round programs, Camping Unlimited will provide bus transportation with pickup locations in Oakland and in Campbell.
Volunteering for Camping Unlimited’s Summer and Year-round Programs offer great rewards, but assisting and guiding children and adults with disabilities is challenging work. Under the supervision of our program directors, volunteers monitor the safety of our campers and help them with personal care. Camping Unlimited is entrusted with the care of children, therefore all volunteers interested in interacting with our campers must submit to a criminal background check.
Serving as Volunteer Counselor is great experience for those interested in careers in education, medicine, therapies, recreation and more.
If you are interested in other year-round events, please see our weekend CALENDAR at www.campingunlimited.org.

We hope to hear from you!
Thank you,
Staff of Camping Unlimited
