Camp Clover Day Program

Our camp day programs are funded by referrals and contracts with children's long-term support and adult long-term support programming.

From June-August, Camp Clover is home to a summer weekday community-based camp for youth grades 4-8, weekday community-based day service for young adults ages 18-55, and Saturday community-based sessions for grades 9-12.

From August-May/June, Camp Clover is home to weekday community-based day services for young adults ages 18-55, after-school camp for grades 4-8, and Saturday community-based sessions for grades 9-12. We also offer community-based day services for high schoolers who have non-traditional school schedules, or are home-schooled.

At Camp Clover Day Program, our vision is to create a community where individuals with disabilities are embraced, empowered, and included in all aspects of life.  We strive to foster a culture of acceptance, understanding, and support for families facing disabilities, ensuring that every member feels valued and included.

Our mission at Camp Clover is to provide an opportunity for youth and young adults with disabilities to socialize with peers, build on talents, interests, and skills; while using creative and innovative approaches to integrate into our community.

Camp Clover's Youth Day Camp provides a daily schedule to help guide campers and staff, with the flexibility to accomodate activities, weather, mood, etc.  We visit the park and splashpad daily in the summer time, and visit the park daily (weather-permitting) during the weekend and after-school programs.  We also find opportunities to give back to and explore our communities.  Camp Clover also focuses on building social-emotional skills such as having appropriate conversations, developing and using coping skills, healthy relationships, empathy, teamwork, self-esteem, and self-regulation.  

Population served 

The adult portion of Camp Clover Day Program serves grades 4-12 enrolled in CLTS programs.  Participants have diagnoses with mental illness, cognitive disabilities, developmental disabilities, or physical disabilities.

Clover’s Community Integrated Day Services program is devoted to helping adults with disabilities learn the skills they need to live more independently, take part in community activities, discover more about their interests, meet new people and form and maintain meaningful friendships. Clover’s team of skilled staff designed a program that is aimed at creating opportunities that foster personal growth. Participants will learn customized skills to live a life filled with valuable connections and engaging experiences.

Opportunities with Clover 

Clover offers person-centered programming opportunities each weekday.  Participants and families can choose which days of the week they would like to attend based on their desires, needs, and goals.  Clover focuses on goals and objectives that improve independence in the community, and/or improve peer/social skills.  Though each day has a focus, vocational and social skills are built into programming daily.

• Mondays are meaningful recreation days. That time will be spent doing activities such as being at the YMCA, spending time on outdoor activities, visiting restaurants/cafes, scavenger hunts, movie theater, bowling, etc.

• Tuesdays are art days. Activities such as arts & crafts, going to a musical/play, learning about a new instrument, learning/practicing different art modalities, etc.

• Wednesdays are civic days. We will spend that day out in the community volunteering at either the same place for the first half of the day or go to different places throughout the day and volunteer.

• Thursdays are health and wellness. We will be learning about nutrition, how to stay active and healthy, body movement activities, partake in exercise classes, swimming, etc.

• Fridays are for skills and education. Learning how to cook/bake, role playing, social skill building, learning experience in the community, etc.
