Kids with disabilities can blossom at area camps

Camp Happiness is a seven-week program which provides summer day camp experiences to children and young adults ages 5-21 with cognitive and other developmental disabilities. Camp is from June 20 - August 5, 2011. We offer three sites in the Greater Cleveland area.

Each site provides and enhances social, spiritual, recreational and educational opportunities, as well as the opportunity to make new friends, swim, go on community field trips, play fun games and create exciting arts and crafts! 

Camp Happiness is operated by Catholic Charities Health and Human Services, Disability Services. Children of all faith traditions are welcome.

The three locations are: Camp Happiness at Lakewood Catholic Academy,14806 Lake Ave., Lakewood; Camp Happiness at Parmadale, 6753 State Rd., Parma; and Camp Happiness at Center for Pastoral Leadership (CPL), 28700 Euclid Ave., Wickliffe.
