Camp Thorpe strives to keep our camp and programs affordable for every camper, and to ensure that all campers who want to attend are able, regardless of financial ability. The tuition we charge covers approximately 1/3 of the cost for each camper to attend a session of camp.

With each generous gift, sponsorship, and bequest your help brings us closer to meeting our goals. No gift is too small… or too large!

Vision:

Our vision is to create an intergenerational camp environment where everyone feels safe, secure and accepted.

Mission:

Camp Thorpe is dedicated to providing a fun and safe camping experience to children and adults with special needs.
