Caregivers

Camp ABLE is for ages 8-15. Since we are licensed we require our participants to be able to feed themselves, clothe themselves, and use the restroom themselves. If the camper is unable to do this we still welcome the camper, however, an aide must attend with the camper.

We offer 3 field trips days per week. We provide transportation for the field trips, and all admission costs are included in the price for the day at camp. We have guest speakers, swimming, library time, and other activities for non-field trip days.
Half day registration is also available on Tuesday and Thursday. You may pick and choose the days you would like to attend throughout the week(s).

Financial Assistance Available

Scholarships can be applied for through the Canton Community Foundation and the Marion and Jerry Rozum Fund

We have children bring a brown bag lunch!

Our goal at Camp A.B.L.E. is to provide each and every child with opportunities that include developing social skills, building lasting relationships with campers and staff alike, and to have an experience like none other. At Camp A.B.L.E., we spend our days swimming, creating, reading, exploring, educating, and playing sports and games.

Camp A.B.L.E. prides itself on hiring professional staff who enjoy spending their summer creating unique adapted recreation experiences for children. All staff members are certified in CPR and First Aid as well as Nonviolent Crisis Intervention (CPI), which equips our staff with de-escalation techniques and positive strategies for handling difficult situations. Camp A.B.L.E. is licensed by the State of Michigan and complies with all aspects of their training requirements. Camp A.B.L.E. staff are also considered mandatory reporters for suspected incidences of child abuse or neglect. Several of our staff members are teachers or college aged students going into the field of education.

As a licensed camp we maintain a ratio of 3 campers to 1 staff, with a maximum of 20 participants each day. Camp ABLE is for ages 8-15. Since we are licensed we require our participants to be able to feed themselves, clothe themselves, and use the restroom themselves. If the camper is unable to do this, an aide must attend with the camper.

We go on field-trips three times a week, Mondays, Thursdays, and Fridays, where we are bowling, swimming at a water park, or visiting a local hands-on museum. On Tuesdays and Wednesdays we go swimming at the Summit, visit the library, and participate in different life skills.

Upon completing your registration form, we will set up a New Parent Orientation meeting where we can meet your children and discuss camp in-depth. This allows you to tell us about your child and it helps us to better understand their specific needs and set goals for summer. We recognize the importance of carry-over from school to summer, and are happy to continue or use strategies that have been found successful with your children.
