Camp Haccamo in Rush is welcoming back campers for its 67th year of making smiles grow. It is a one-of-a-kind place that offers an overnight camping experience for individuals with emotional and/or physical disabilities. It’s also the only camp in our area that serves adults up to age 30.
Campers ages seven to 18 attended camp from July 31 to August 4, while those ages 19 to 30 are at camp August 7 to 11. The campers often arrive with smiles from ear to ear. For many, this is where they see their close friends each year.
There are ongoing activities throughout camp, including ziplining, swimming, archery, games, camp fires, and arts and crafts. The younger campers had a Carnival Night and the adult campers will have a special Prom Night.
With 24-hour nursing care and a ratio of one counselor per two campers, Haccamo provides a safe environment while caregivers are given an opportunity to rest, knowing their loved ones are safe and in good hands having fun, making friends, and developing skills, confidence, and independence.
Camp Haccamo is supported by 13 dedicated Rotary Clubs: Brighton, Brockport, Fairport, Gates Chili, Hilton, Honeoye Falls-Mendon, Irondequoit, Monroe South, Penfield, Pittsford, Rush Henrietta, Spencerport, and Webster. Learn more or donate online at http://www.camphaccamo.org.
