Companions and the Program/Activity Staff at camp, work together to encourage children to try new activities and challenges which allow them to leave their “Comfort Zone" in an attempt to build emotional strength and life skills.

This year’s Camp Quality session is from June 23 – June 28th. Camp is held at a beautiful and special campsite in Blairstown, NJ that has climate controlled cabins, on-site medical staff who will dispense the child’s medicine, a pool, lake, a zip line, rock climbing, a giant swing, basketball courts, outdoor picnic areas, inside dining areas and more !

Registration for camp has started.
