Since 1975, Camp Jaycee has provided quality, affordable camping experiences to campers with special needs each summer. Camp Jaycee is accredited by the American Camp Association..

Every day is an adventure at Camp Jaycee. Highly trained counselors and specialists lead the campers in terrific activities.

The day is divided into five periods: three before lunch and two afterward, plus an evening program. Campers may go to the athletic field for a game of soccer or dodgeball in the morning; they might then visit the crafts area to create an art project. After enjoying lunch, it’s time for rest hour, followed by swim. The afternoon periods could be spent on a paddleboat, or maybe at nature or dance. There’s always fun things to do at Camp Jaycee.
