What is Camp 2Can?

Camp 2Can empowers campers to discover what they can do—building confidence, exploring new experiences, and creating meaningful friendships while having fun.

All sites offer enjoyable, purposeful activities that promote growth, confidence, and connection, including arts and crafts, water-based activities, recreational sports, group games, and specialty learning experiences. Social skill-building is woven throughout the day to support friendships, communication, and cooperative play.

Camp registration and participation fees are subsidized through PALS fundraising, helping families access high-quality, inclusive programming.
