Learn more about the Foundation For Dreams
Foundation for Dreams offers a variety of unique programs specialized to meet each child’s needs and strengthen their abilities. Each activity is strategically adapted to target specific, individualized goals that produce a more comprehensive skill set and productive behaviors. Dream Oaks Camp, provides an exceptional camping experience for children with special needs and chronic illnesses ages 7-17.
Each camp session has a theme and activities that are designed and tailored to meet the needs of each child we serve by modifying strategies to include participation of all campers, despite their physical, emotional or developmental challenges. We plan these with the mindset that each child will participate, learn new skills and take on many new challenges by focusing on what the child can do, rather than their limitations.
Children that attend regularly often achieve significant developmental, functional and behavioral gains that can be developed and sustained across multiple settings. Campers truly develop a sense of belonging and recognize that Dream Oaks Camp is a special place they can call their own.
