Camp Shriver

Camp Shriver is an inclusive summer program for children with and without intellectual disabilities held each summer on the UMass Boston campus. The goals of the camp are:

* To provide sports; and other recreational and enrichment activities for all participants.
* To use sports as a vehicle for improving not only campers sports skills and overall motor development, but also their self-esteem, social skills, and confidence in building relationships with peers.
*To create an atmosphere of understanding, learning, and sharing so that campers from diverse backgrounds with and without disabilities can engage in positive peer relationships and develop new friendships.

Camp Shriver is made possible by the generous support of our community partners and the administration and staff of UMass Boston. For more information or to become involved in Camp Shriver, visit http://www.csde.umb.edu/shriver.html
