Volunteer at a Camp for Limb-Different Kids

Save to Favorites

At NubAbility, we help limb-different kids gain courage and confidence by providing coaching in mainstream, organized sports. Once children learn they can overcome obstacles on the playing field, they carry that knowledge into other areas of their lives.

Our 2022 All Sports Camp Schedule is:

Wednesday, July 13th - Camp set-up and camper family check-in
Thursday, July 14th - Outdoors day and evening launch party
Friday, July 15th through Sunday, July 17th - Sports days
Sunday, July 17th - Camp tear-down starting at 1:00 pm

You don’t have to be an athlete to make a difference! We need help in many different areas, including:
