Camp Promise
The mission of Camp Promise is to provide a barrier-free, weeklong overnight camp for kids, teens, and adults with muscular dystrophy or select neuromuscular diseases—regardless of age, capability, or ability to pay. The camper-focused programming builds independence, confidence, and life skills through traditional camp activities and by bringing campers new experiences through adaptation, technology, creativity, and special guests. It is a welcoming community where campers learn from and support each other, fostering new and lasting friendships that extend beyond camp. They are committed to providing Camp Promise in a professional, safe, and respectful environment with a leadership team, trained volunteers, and licensed medical staff who support the needs of each and every camper. Volunteers are the backbone of Camp Promise. From cabin counselors to medical, program, and logistics teams, the camps are fully staffed by volunteers.
