Abstract
According to Havens (1992), the last two decades alone have brought legal action and legislation which mandate inclusion of people with disabilities in educational, recreational and vocational settings, including camping programs. The process of deinstitutionalization has placed many individuals with disabilities back in the community to live, work, and play. Moreover, the barriers to participation by persons with disabilities in programs are no longer insurmountable. As camps continue to progress and offer an expansion of opportunities, camps are experiencing the necessity to provide programs and develop facilities that are available to persons with all ability levels.
