Camp Horizon Overnight Retreat (youth with Ds ages 10 – 17)
Camp Horizon is a 4-day/3-night traditional overnight experience at YMCA Camp Harrison in Boomer, NC. Participating campers with Down syndrome, ages 10-17, enjoy traditional camp activities, including horseback riding, arts & crafts, boating, fishing, swimming and more. Campers are assigned a 1:1 volunteer counselor for the duration of their time at camp. Camp Horizon builds self-confidence and independence within the context of a traditional sleep-away camp experience.
