San Diego, CA

This unique summer camp is an opportunity for kids ages 4-18 with physical impairments such as spina bifida, cerebral palsy, muscular dystrophy, and spinal cord injuries as well as blind or visually impaired to participate in approximately 15 different sport rotations over 5 days.  Volunteers and counselors who share a passion for adaptive sports help athletes learn the fundamentals of various games and activities. Athletes are grouped by age and ability and develop important skills to help them stay active and healthy.  Camp promotes positive self-esteem, leadership skills, independence and most importantly, opens campers up to a whole new world of possibilities!  This life-changing experience for kids and their families takes place in a positive, loving and fun atmosphere.

Junior Adaptive Sports Camp is designed for children, ages 4 to 18, with a permanent physical disability such as cerebral palsy, spina bifida, amputation, muscular dystrophy, spinal cord injury, or visually impaired or blind. This camp most benefits an individual with some use of their arms to push a wheelchair, but we are able to accommodate in the case of limited ability.  Children with a physical disability can often walk with braces, canes, or crutches and don't use a wheelchair on a daily basis.  However, they may lack the ability to fully participate in your everyday  sports because they cannot run and jump as quickly as their able-bodied counterparts.  However, if your child does not typically use a chair or is unfamiliar with manual chair use, they may be at a disadvantage in this camp setting. 

Click the athlete registration link, complete the registration information (one per athlete), and pay a $250 registration fee for the full week.

To volunteer, register here. Depending on your role additional steps like background check or Safe Sport training may be required.

We believe in breaking down barriers – if financial assistance is needed, please reach out to lindsay@angelcitysports.org
