Camp Buckaroo

What : Camp Buckaroo is a week-long day-camp for children with disabilities, including autism, cerebral palsy, Down Syndrome, and mental retardation.  Each day at Camp Buckaroo is themed, from Rodeo Day to Snow Day, and each day is filled with crafts, activities, and entertainment that reflect those themes.  Camp Buckaroo "buddies" work one-on-one or two-on-one with the campers, attending all activities with their camper and helping with their camper's daily tasks.

Camp Buckaroo is open to children ages 2 to 14 with all types of disabilities, and their siblings ages 2 to 10.  Campers may attend one week only, and must provide their own lunch and transportation.  The cost of Camp Buckaroo is $50.00 per child.  (*Exception: The cost of the WeeBucks camp is $25 per child.)
