Mission Statement
Camp PossAbility exists to give young adults with physical disabilities a week to empower the mind, body, and spirit with social enrichment, outdoor adventure, and emotional support.
Description
Camp PossAbility, Inc., 501(c)3, is a one week adapted summer camp designed specifically for young adults ages 18 to 35 who have a typical high school diploma and use a wheelchair for mobility.
There are multiple camps for children with disabilities, but most young adults age out at age 18 or 21. Many campers miss this safe, adapted environment where they can enjoy social enrichment and challenge their physical skills.
Camp PossAbility is based in Fort Wayne but is held at Bradford Woods in Martinsville, Indiana, an adaptive outdoor center owned by Indiana University.
Young people travel across the country for this exciting opportunity.
