Programs for students with special needs typically range from one to four days. Some program activities might include: catapults, exploratory walks, aquatic activities such as swimming, raft building and canoeing, campout, low ropes and high challenge activities.

A variety of resources have been developed specifically for use by special needs groups during these activities. These include: a modified canoeing chair, mobile ramp for access to group activities, a Here and There seat and a ground level challenge course.

Four of our nine cabins have ramp access and are outfitted with wheelchair access bathrooms, enabling students to access toilet and shower facilities.
