Camp Joy

Located in Montgomery County, Camp Joy is one of the region's most experienced year-round camps for children and adults with mental retardation, autism spectrum disorders, and other developmental disabilities. The ability levels of our campers range from low to high, and some of our campers are non-ambulatory.

Our services include Weekend Getaways (fall through spring) and Summer Camp. These programs feature personalized care, a rustic wooded setting with extensive mobility accommodations, nursing coverage, and a host of engaging activities. It's all about fun, new friendships, and a sense of adventure!

The camp includes cabins, horses, a large swimming pool, a dining hall and activity lodges, hiking trails, and more.

Respite funding for Camp Joy may be available through county or regional MR/DD agencies. Last summer, Camp Joy was fully booked, so we urge you to call us now (610-754-6878) if you have questions or you would like to register.

SUMMER CAMP (sleep-over and day camp)

This program operates from mid-June until the end of August. Campers may attend week-long camps or multiple weeks. Camp days and evenings unfold with fun activities as well as time to relax. We welcome campers from a number of states; many of them return year after year. Local campers may choose to participate in our popular day camp program which features flexible scheduling plus the full range of daytime camp activities.

WEEKEND GETAWAYS (sleep-over)

Fall and spring are the backdrops to these weekend programs. Beginning Friday evening and winding down Sunday morning, Weekend Getaways are fun-filled with seasonal indoor and outdoor recreational activities.

We can sometimes provide transportation; please call to discuss your needs.
