Our son Matthew will be attending his fourth year of camp in July 2024. This is such a special place and makes such a huge impact for our family and others to provide a safe place for individuals with disabilities to spend a week and provide much needed respite for families. I serve on the Board of Directors and couldn’t be more proud of the team and organization.
There are few places where individuals with developmental disabilities can spend an entire week joyfully focusing on their abilities. For almost 90 years, Mt. Hood Kiwanis Camp has offered one of the largest programs in the U.S. for 600 campers ages 5 and up at our fully accessible 22-acre campsite in the Mt. Hood National Forest. We help EMPOWER youth and adults with cognitive, developmental and physical disabilities including Autism Spectrum Disorder, Down Syndrome, Traumatic Brain Injury, Cerebral Palsy, and more through year-round recreational programming.
