INCLUSION

We strive to create safe, inclusive spaces where kids can meet the objectives of Kamp Kiwanis. We work to create a sense of belonging at Kamp Kiwanis were everyone can be true to themselves and celebrate their differences in gender, race, ethnicity, culture, beliefs, abilities and sexual orientation. We want all of our program participants, staff and volunteers to feel welcome and respected.

We are able to accommodate many diverse needs, however, we recognize that there are some individuals with greater specialized needs that are beyond the scope of our staff training and staff:participant ratios, in which case we refer these individuals to other camps that can best accommodate them and allow them to have the most inclusive camp experience possible.
