People Always Responding with Compassion
Camp PARC, located in central-western Pennsylvania, is an all-volunteer-powered nonprofit that provides an overnight summer camp and year-round recreational and social opportunities for children and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities and their neurotypical peers.
Built around one-to-one support between campers and volunteers, Camp PARC is a community where people show up for each other, share the camp experience, and create friendships that last far beyond the summer.
The credits have rolled, the sets have been torn down, and the costumes are stored away, but the memories are still playing on repeat!
