## Camp Pathfinder: Your First Step to Independence

For many people, summer camp is the first step on the road to independence. Pathfinder Village is pleased to offer an enriching co-educational summer experience for individuals with Down syndrome and other developmental disabilities -- Camp Pathfinder!

Campers share the traditional camp experience -- exploring the outdoors, expressing themselves through music and movement, making new friends, learning new skills, and "speaking with their own voice" around the campfire circle. All our activities are designed to help the adult camper with developmental disabilities explore, learn, and grow.

Overnight campers will experience a comfortable, home-like setting under the direct supervision of Pathfinder’s caring residential staff. The camp offers a quality transition experience for those who are eager to “try their wings” as adult members of our supportive community.

## **Why Choose Camp Pathfinder?**

Camp Pathfinder offers one-week sessions and two-week sessions. Both sessions are open to people with Down syndrome and other intellectual and developmental disabilities who are 18 years or older, and have a level of physical/emotional health that will allow them to participate in and benefit from camp.

Camp Pathfinder offers an engaging curriculum to include five core themes:

- Community and Adventure
- The Arts
- Sports and Wellness
- Self-Advocacy
- Independent Living

## Camp Pathfinder Testimonials

I enjoyed the Ride the Rails at Milford, the cooking and baking, hanging out with fellow campers and staff members.
What surprised me most was the energy in this lovely/lively campsite.

Danny

I liked the ice cream at Jerry's. My favorite trip was going to Howe's Caverns and the underground boat ride -- it was kind of dark. But it was fun because I was with my friends.

Kate

I enjoyed every bit of it. I liked walking the campus and I made good friends.

Jeff

I loved camp so much. I did the railroad-bike trail and it was good. I learned how to make healthy foods.
