The camps in the New York Metropolitan area that the Lisa Beth Gerstman Foundation supports had a great summer and the kids had an amazing time! We visited the camps throughout the summer to meet the children and the incredible staffs that make it all happen. The Foundation affords children with special needs the opportunity to attend summer day camps in integrated settings, enjoying all of the benefits of camp. We partner with accredited camps willing to launch integrated programs that include wheelchair accessible transportation, one-on-one swimming instruction, and adaptive physical education equipment and training – all in a caring environment where the children participate in all regular camp activities. The Foundation works with over 25 camps, including YMCAs, JCC, and a variety of unique camps, such as Pal-O-Mine, which offers adaptive horseback riding to kids with disabilities.
