Camp Krem, run by the nonprofit Camping Unlimited (founded 1957), is an overnight (residential) summer camp for children, teens, and adults with developmental and physical disabilities. Sessions of 5, 10, and 12 days include traditional camp programs, outdoor adventure, and travel camps for campers with conditions such as Down syndrome, cerebral palsy, and autism. The ACA-accredited program operates in a redwood forest setting in the Santa Cruz Mountains and at a Yosemite-area site.

★★★★★Holland Dennis McRae (mcraeholland)Camp Krem is awesome I went there 4 times it was the staff and counselors were awesome facilities were great the cabin were cool the pool was great good food excellent place to go
★★★Ramsharan PadhyMy lil sister had an awesome time at Camp Krem. I’m so grateful that there is an opportunity for her to play and enjoy Santa Cruz in a safe environment. However she did come back with many nasty bug bites, I’m not talking about 3 or 4. Her body was riddled in bites some of them inflamed to the size of welts. Also some of her clothes that we packed for her didn’t come back. If this two issues could be improved upon that’d be great!
★★★★★PDT BUKTI NEGARA HEADQUARTERSBest camp for kids with autism. Love the staff. Love the owners. Makes life more normal if you have a kid with autism. My son finds comfort with his peers and loves to stay 10 day camps.
★★★★★Ray ToneA beautiful Haven for children with special needs. Staff and the volunteers are always fantastic people, sensitive to your child's needs and just as importantly the parents'. If you have a child with special needs and want to expose them to camping and wonderful loving people, and just as importantly take the night off for yourself and your spouse, I couldn't possibly recommend Camp KREM more
★★★★★Helen PatekMy son has been going to camp Krem for 15 years and loves the camp like home. Camp gave his him self esteem, gave him the Love of traveling, camping, socializing and many more things. I can't say anything negative. My only negative is that the cabins aren't more amenable. But then it isn't the Hilton, it's for Camping! The counselors are great, volunteers have been wonderful and directors are what you want to run a camp for the disabled!!!
