Ability Camp at Central Bucks Family YMCA is a
“camp within a camp” designed for campers
who, in order to be safe and successful, require
smaller ratios than what you may find in a
traditional summer camp environment.
For the majority of the day, campers participate side by side with
their typical peers in activities like arts & crafts, sports & games,
and swimming. For one period each day, campers focus on social                                       JULIANNE HIRST
