Adventure-Based Learning for Individuals with Special Needs

Caglewood, Inc. is a non-profit 501(c)3 organization that serves people with developmental disabilities by teaching them life skills through camping trips and day programming activities. This programming is designed to enable our campers to become socially involved in their communities and be capable of living independently in the future.

Caglewood desires to create a better world for everyone, and we plan to execute our mission by spreading love within the special needs population. We have targeted this population because these individuals often have difficulty expressing emotions, maintaining an active lifestyle, and living independently. Caglewood’s goal is to teach these skills through unique, recreational programming. It is the educational aspect of the camp, placed in a nature setting, which makes Caglewood unique to other similar organizations.
