Camp STRIVE is the latest in STRIVEs expanding programmatic offerings. As part of an integrated vacation day camp and summer program, CAMP STRIVE provides teens and young adults (ages 15-24) with developmental disabilities the opportunity to make friends, play games and learn valuable skills in a safe, inclusive environment.
