Narrative

Camp Shriver is an inclusive, sports-oriented day camp for children with and without intellectual disabilities.  Camp Shriver serves boys and girls (ages 8-12) from Boston and Quincy. Campers receive instruction in a variety of sports (soccer, basketball, swimming) and participate in field trips. The 4-week session, held from over 4 weeks in July on the UMass Boston campus. It includes transportation, breakfast and lunch, and camp gear.  The only cost for Camp Shriver is a $25.00 registration fee only due upon acceptance to the Camp. 

While recreational programs offered by schools and community agencies may accept children with disabilities, few—if any—are designed to enroll an equal number of children with and without disabilities. That is what makes Camp Shriver at UMass Boston unique. Camp Shriver serves an equal number of children with and without disabilities.  All children can play, learn and interact in meaningful ways with their peers—no matter what their disability status.
