The mission of the Adventure Amputee Camp is to encourage children with amputations or limb differences to stretch their potential and imagination, and explore all that is possible.

Depending on the season, camp activities may include river rafting, high ropes, water skiing or snow skiing, and snow boarding. All activities are modified as necessary to meet the ability and interest level of each camper. Other activities (which can include bowling, crafts, games, swimming, horseback riding, biking, and winter tubing) may be less physically stressful, yet provide many campers an experience that was previously untried, unobtainable, or unimaginable.
