At Mt. Hood Kiwanis Camp, we empower children and adults with developmental disabilities through equitable access to the outdoors and recreation. For over 80 years, we have partnered with the U.S. Forest Service to provide individuals with developmental disabilities an outstanding overnight recreational opportunity in the Mt. Hood National Forest. We offer eight week-long sessions of overnight summer camp, providing our campers with a one-on-one camper/counselor ratio. We also offer winter programming at our fully accessible 22-acre campsite.
Our campers go through many powerful experiences every day. Campers talk about how many fish they caught, friends they danced with, and the fear they overcame by doing the zip line. Even more extraordinary is how experiences at camp positively contribute to the total growth of our campers. They grow as individuals and blossom in ways only summer camp can foster.
