AdaptAbilities said it understands that the cost of summer camps like this can make it impossible for a family to sign up a person with a disability. The organization is offering a bursary program that significantly reduces the cost of 30 spots in its camps. Participants must be able to be supported in a small group ratio.
The non-profit says there is more funding needed to avoid unnecessary challenges for many families with people with a disabilities.
