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 respite day camp for youth grades 4-8, weekend community-based day service for young adults ages 18-30, and evening services for grades 9-12.

From August-May, Camp Clover is home to weekday community-based day services for young adults ages 18-30, after-school camp for grades 4-8, and weekend respite day camp for grades 9-12.

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 Respite 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.
