MDA hosts a summer camp for children ages six to seventeen with all types of muscle diseases. There is no fee to attend camp, and all camp costs are covered by MDA. MDA camp offers a fun and safe outdoor experience, along with opportunities to engage in a variety of activities such as swimming; adaptive sports including hockey, baseball, soccer, and football; boating; horseback riding; fishing; music; arts and crafts; dances; talent shows; Harley-Davidson motorcycle sidecar rides; and visits from fire fighters. MDA camp enables campers to stretch their comfort zones and grow in independence as they spend a week away from home; permit someone other than their parents to provide personal care; and make new friends. MDA staff and volunteers assume all camper care, including physical and emotional support, allowing parents time to attend to their own needs. Volunteer counselors work one-on-one with campers around the clock. On-site personnel also include physicians, nurses, and respiratory or physical therapists.
