Welcome to Camp Acorn, a cherished social enrichment program dedicated to individuals with developmental disabilities. Established in 2001, Camp Acorn was founded with a heartfelt mission: to cultivate unique experiences that nurture individual growth and foster a sense of belonging. With a diverse range of activities tailored to each camper’s abilities and interests, Camp Acorn is more than just a program—it’s a supportive and inclusive haven where every camper is celebrated for their uniqueness, encouraged to explore new horizons, and embraced as an integral part of our family. We extend our warmest welcome to you, and we can’t wait to embark on this incredible adventure together! Be sure to check us out on Instagram, Facebook, and X (Twitter) too!
