Camp Manito in New Castle County, and Camp Lenape serving both Kent and Sussex Counties, are for children and young adults (ages 3-21) with orthopedic disabilities. The camps are also open to all children, with or without disabilities.
Both campsites are ideal for campers with disabilities because of the unique accessibility. The outside grounds have paved walkways for easy access for those who use wheelchairs. The setting offers campers an enriched program and promotes the campers’ independence while building their self-esteem. Each camp has a swimming pool with an accessible in-pool ramp. The camps have outside pavilions for camper activities and playground equipment for the campers’ enjoyment. Both campsites offer activities such as swimming, arts & crafts, music, nature, sports programs and computer enrichment. The camps also feature special guests and outings. With a full staff of nearly thirty counselors and trained volunteers, they instill a sense of belonging and self-confidence to the camper with a disability.
