Camp Without Borders is a free travel program for young adults (18 to 35 years old) with medical illnesses and disabilities. This inclusive program addresses issues of social, emotional and physical isolation. On our trips participants have an opportunity to develop genuine friendships with their peers.
WE BREAK DOWN BARRIERS AND FOSTER SOCIAL CONNECTIONS BY:
-
Providing all of our programs free of charge. We recognize that cost can be a barrier to young adults with medical illnesses and disabilities accessing social programs, therefore we make our programs free for all individuals.
-
Providing a platform for genuine friendships where individuals of all abilities feel safe to connect with their peers through a shared experience. Every travel program is developed and adapted to meet the social, emotional and physical needs of our groups. Participants and volunteers of the same age bracket have the opportunity to bond and leave our trips with new social networks.
-
Providing an age appropriate program that is typical of any young adult. Using travel as our platform for social inclusion allows young adults with medical illnesses and disabilities to engage with their peers and explore the world. Travel is essential part of a young adults life where experiences are gained and memories are created.
