May 1 – 3, 2026
We are excited to bring Our Own Family Camp, a camp for Families in the Down syndrome community to Idaho! Our goal is to offer a camp for families to come up and JUST BE A FAMILY! Leave your diagnosis at the gate, all the pressures of IEPs, therapies and everything else, and be able to bond as a family, forming lasting relationships with other families in the Down Syndrome community!
All our traditional programs will be available, with a few others focused around encouraging families to network and create community around collaboration and understanding. Optional activities available at family camps include: archery, zip line, rock wall, canoeing, fishing, sports, arts and crafts, cookie decorating, campfires, hiking, mountain biking, and more! (Swimming open only Memorial Day/4th of July/Labor Day camps and is weather dependent. Canoeing and fishing available at all family camps)
Please be aware, in this family camp we will be running things a little differently than our other Y Camp family camp. Please let us know if you have another family you are interested in bunking with, otherwise families will be sharing spaces in assigned cabins.
*Please note, our camp property is very large and navigating camp can involve extended walking distances. If this presents an issue for your family, please reach out to us.
