Camp
The summer camp/shore vacation program provides an age appropriate social/recreational experience for adults over the age of 18. Our traditional "Camp Program" is offered in weekly sessions and provides an opportunity to participate in swimming, arts and crafts, sports, music, hiking, and other camp activities. Our "Vacation Program" at the New Jersey shore is offered in weekly sessions. We have designed a beach vacation with activities that may include trips to Atlantic City, Wildwood, beaches, the boardwalks and other activities requested by the participants. During Fall and Spring we offer several Respite Camp weekends.

Helping Hands, Inc. is offering our summer residential/vacation camp for individuals with intellectual disabilities.
ALL WEEKS WILL BE BASED at the property in Rio Grande, New Jersey.
As expected, this summer will look much different than most. Our program will be spent mainly at our property in Rio Grande, with very minimal outings to public places unless they are entirely outdoors. For this reason, there are not separate camp or shore weeks - all weeks will look roughly the same in terms of activities and outings. Below are the weeks we will be running this summer. Due to limited spots, each participant may only sign up for one week.
