Camp Jabberwocky is the oldest sleep away camp for people with disabilities in America. For the last 64 years, Camp Jabberwocky has been going strong with its mission to provide campers with a week of adventure, friendship, and a break from the routine of their day-to-day.

Some special facts about Camp Jabberwocky:

  1. It costs about $1450 a week for each camper to attend Camp Jabberwocky. Campers pay what they can afford, and no one is ever turned away because of their inability to pay.
  2. The camp is completely run by volunteers. The session directors, counselors, program staff and doctors are all volunteers...every single one of them!
  3. Camp Jabberwocky is one of the few places where age doesn’t matter for people with disabilities and their families. Our oldest camper is in his 70's and has been sleeping in the same bunk for 40+ years.

We hope you will join us, please bring your friends!!
