Jay Novicki Day Camps

21 and older

Jay Novicki day camps are an opportunity for participants (21 and older) with physical, intellectual, and developmental disabilities to enjoy a taste of camp. Each half-day session includes worship, an inclusive activity, and lunch. Every month has a new theme, and campers are encouraged to return month after month!

All activities are designed to be inclusive of campers at all ability levels. Activities may include:

  • Adaptive archery
  • Creative arts
  • Carnival games
  • Fishing
  • Outdoor education

Staff and volunteers lead programming at a ratio of approximately 2:1. Campers’ needs are a top priority. 

Multiple day camps are offered each month, and campers are encouraged to choose just one session per month. Registration closes one week prior to the event.

Those needing assistance with tasks of daily living (e.g. eating, showering or using the restroom) must bring an assistant/aide. Please list the specific needs of the participant on the registration form or attach a note with details.

While our camp is not 100% handicap accessible, we make all possible accommodations for campers.  If you have questions about accessibility or activities, please call 402-944-2544 to discuss your individual needs.
