Camp CAYA
D1's annual family camping experience will be held July 27-29, 2012. There are scholarships available to help with the cost of camp. Check back for registration information as the date approaches!
About the Camp
Camp Come as You Are is our weekend camp experience for New England families with dwarf children, teens, siblings and parents of all sizes. Our host is Camp Allen in Bedford, New Hampshire, one hour north of Boston. Camp Allen is fully accessible with paved pathways, ramped buildings and an accessible swimming pool. www.campallennh.org
What to Expect
The camp provides a great atmosphere to get to know other families while sharing cabins and s'mores, swimming in the pool, canoeing and doing crafts. The ideal ages are school-aged children, teens and their families, but younger ones are welcome too!
The camp offers a nightly campfire, swings, indoor game puzzle and craft areas, water balloons, whiffle ball, basketball, hiking, boating, swimming, karaoke, and a camp store full of fun stuff. Bring bikes! Camp is a great place for pedaling due to its many paved pathways.
Most cabins have indoor plumbing and a few are close to shower-houses. All are accessible. We have the camp from noon on Thursday until noon Sunday.

The Cost
The cost this year is $35 per night/per person which includes Friday supper through Sunday breakfast. Financial aid is available. Let us know if a subsidy would make attendance at the camp a possibility for you. We do not want cost to be a deterrent for any interested family with a dwarf child. Please contact District Director Barbara Spiegel for more information.
