💚 Who We Serve

At Camp Grace Bentley, we proudly welcome children, teens, and adults with physical, developmental, intellectual, and emotional disabilities. Our campers represent a wide range of abilities — including those with autism, Down syndrome, cerebral palsy, muscular dystrophy, learning differences, sensory challenges, and more.

We believe every individual deserves the opportunity to experience the joy of summer camp in a supportive, inclusive, and fully accessible environment. Whether learning new skills, building friendships, or simply enjoying the beauty of nature, every camper at Camp Grace Bentley is celebrated for who they are.

Please note that this list of disabilities is not all-inclusive, and a diagnosis alone does not guarantee acceptance. Campers must be able to safely participate within our 3:1 camper-to-staff ratio, unless a pre-arranged 1:1 support has been approved. All applications are reviewed by our admissions panel to ensure that Camp Grace Bentley can provide a safe and enriching experience for each individual.
