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.
The Camp Clover Day Program is proud to announce we have achieved Home-and-Community-Based Services Compliance Certification from The State of Wisconsin's Department of Health Services!

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.
