ALL ARE WELCOME.

Fun, Safe and Wonder-filled Summer Camps for People with Developmental Disabilities.

Sleep-away camp is a wonderful opportunity for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities to have an enjoyable summer vacation away from the city, and an opportunity for families to take a break from the responsibilities of caregiving.

Camp Anne

A fun-filled, loving, nurturing, and safe environment for children and adults who require various levels of support and may also have physical and/or medical needs.

The Lodge

An innovative summer resort for adults with mild to moderate developmental disabilities.

Camp
Transforms
People!

Spending time with new peers and staff in a new environment creates a fresh start for everyone and allows for greater growth and independence in a short amount of time.

  • “Thank you again for providing Matthew the opportunity to go to Camp this summer. The extra session really worked out. He had a great time. We really appreciate the dedication, support and love we received from everyone at Camp Anne.“

    ~ Mary Rose O’Connell, parent

  • “Camp is a serene, peaceful, fun place to be. In addition, you have bright, energetic, dedicated staff, loving what they do. I understand why Camp Anne has taken on a symbol of quality for the AHRC board. Thank you so much!“

    ~ Renese Jones, parent

  • “As for Jordan, we cannot thank you enough for everything you did for him and us. This year Rudy and I took our first vacation in 20 years. This would not have happened if we did not have complete faith in you and the staff at the Lodge. You gave us peace of mind, you went above and beyond to make us feel relaxed - communicating with our son Greg and sending us pictures throughout the 10 days.“

    ~ Lorraine Lettieri, parent

  • “Camp Anne has been one of the best things that ever happened to my son Alex. He started going to Camp Anne when he was nine, and though it was tough for him at first, he loves it now! Those days in August have taught him independence, self-confidence, and the real joy of summer!“

    ~ Jeff Stimpson, parent

  • “It was very difficult to actually leave Andrew, however your presence and active role in assuring me not only of his safety but his happiness with the activities at camp were key. I must have called a dozen times over the first few days and every time you responded informatively and with a great deal of authentic care and kindness. This was clearly an effort that goes beyond the level of professionalism expected by AHRC New York City.“

    ~ Lisbeth Arce, parent
