BRIEF CAMP DESCRIPTION: The Arc Gloucester's Camp Sun 'N Fun is a day and residential camp for children and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Our programs are designed to empower each camper to enjoy all aspects of camp life no matter the ability level. Day-to-day camp life enables each camper to learn new skills, grow socially, gain independence and experience international culture through interaction with our staff.
SPECIAL NEEDS CAMPERS: In addition to providing a comprehensive summer camp experience for individuals who have disabilities, we also provide valuable respite time for families and caregivers. This includes our Spring and Fall Travel Camps. We adapt all program areas to meet the physical and emotional needs of each camper. Our pool has a zero entry ramp for wheelchairs users and those who may be unsteady on stairs, our playground is equipped with a wheelchair swing and our Nature Trail is accessible by wheelchair as well. We strive to maintain a traditional camp atmosphere to give that true summer camp experience!
Most importantly our campers are welcome to continue camping with us well beyond the age of 21. Some of our campers have been coming for over thirty years!

CAMP PROGRAM INFO: Our staff hail from all around the globe and right here in Gloucester County. They come to us as students in physical therapy, special education, speech pathology, occupational therapy and diverse other areas of study. Our camp is American Camping Association Accredited. This year we will be celebrating our 56th year providing a recreational respite experience for children and adults with developmental disabilities. As an Arc Gloucester program we strive to help these individuals and their families reach their highest potential through advocacy, education and quality services.
CAMP SCHOLARSHIPS OR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE: Many of our campers receive funding through DDD, DCF and various other state and local sources. This usually includes one whole week of camp. Please be sure to talk to your support worker if you think our camp might benefit your camper. We also have scholarships available to campers living in family homes through The Stephanie B.
