Training partnership established with the Special Education Department, Portland State University in 1972. The camp program provides camping experiences for children, youth, and adults with varying disabilities, and a practicum training experience for students interested in special and general education and related human service professions. In addition to a traditional camp program, Kiwanis Camp runs a backpacking and canoeing program during the summer. Forty campers attend each week and are assigned to various sessions based on similar age. Forty counselors enroll for each two-week session.
Counselors live at the camp for two weeks, with a weekend break between week-long camper sessions.
All counselors must apply through the Special Education Program at P.S.U., and are encouraged to register for course credit. Dr. Ann Fullerton Mt.
