Camp Shriver at UMass Boston
Private
Camp Shriver is a free, inclusive summer sports day camp run by UMass Boston's Center for Social Development and Education, enrolling 100-140 children ages 8-12 (entering grades 3-6) each year, half with and half without intellectual and developmental disabilities, from low-income Boston-area families. Campers play and learn together in adapted sports and recreation designed so children of all abilities participate meaningfully; the program is a national model for inclusive recreation. Camp runs Monday-Friday, 8:30am-2:00pm, for four weeks in July, and includes free breakfast, lunch, snacks and camp gear plus bus transportation from local schools; the only cost is a $25 registration fee for accepted campers.

★★★★★Customer ReviewsThank you for making the month so fun for the kids. My daughter is lucky to be able to get accepted into Camp Shriver for the last 3 years and she always still looking forward to be able to get into Cam Shriver the up coming year. She learned a lot from you guys and other kids in one month. Thank you very much. She loves the staffs, food and all the activities. Please don't stop this program because you guys are really helping a lot of families financially.
