For nearly two decades IndependenceFirst has run what is believed to be the only fully-inclusive, weeklong camp in the nation, called "Adventures in Independent Living." Youth with disabilities are able to participate along with their non-disabled peers in camp activities. Campers learn about similarities and abilities, rather than differences. Campers with disabilities are, many for the first time, able to be away from families in a safe environment to try new activities and build their independence.
