All people, regardless of ability level, deserve the right to opportunities around them. Individuals with developmental disabilities are no different and should be offered the same camp experience to that of typical children. At Camp Sun ‘N Fun, a non-profit, day and residential camp for children and adults with special needs, campers are offered this and more. Camp Sun ‘N Fun provides opportunities to improve self-esteem, develop new skills, and make lasting friendships all within a safe and supportive environment. This is accomplished by planning challenging and fun activities such as; game shows, arts & crafts, swimming events, parties, carnivals, music, casino nights, nature appreciation, sports and games, plays, karaoke, performing arts, talent shows, photography, music videos, hikes, newspaper making, dances, campfires and much, much more. Camp Sun ‘N Fun is located on over 40 acres of rural land but yet centrally located between Atlantic City, Philadelphia and New York, Washington D.C. On the property there are 10 cabins with new cots and mattresses, an Olympic-sized pool, Arts & Crafts building, nature trail, swing sets, pavilion, laundry facility, Recreation Center and opening this summer the New Dining Hall and All-Purpose area. All of our meals are approved by the State of New Jersey Department of Agriculture and prepared by trained and professional kitchen staff. Breakfast, lunch, dinner and snack are served daily to over 90 people per meal with all special dietary needs of both campers and staff met by the wonderful kitchen staff. There is 24 hour medical staff on site as well, to handle any emergencies or routine medical needs for both campers and staff. The local hospital is also located approximately 5 minutes drive from camp, if the need arises. At Camp Sun ‘N Fun, it truly is the incredibly dedicated staff that makes the difference. From the hug that says I care, to the cheers of encouragement, to a friendly smile that starts the day, it’s the trained and talented staff that help create memories that last a lifetime. The benefits are endless for both campers and staff at Camp Sun ‘N Fun!
