What it’s all about

Camp Jabberwocky provides families who have a child or family member with disabilities the opportunity to participate in camp for a long weekend at our
Family Camps!

The goal and purpose of our Family Camp weekends are to share the love and joy of Camp Jabberwocky. Families challenge themselves with fun and exciting outings. Through the support of volunteers, families participate in camp activities, sing songs around a campfire, go to the beach and take a few days out of their lives to just relax and enjoy time with each other, creating a memorable experience for the entire family. Together eight to ten families share in the camp experience and enjoy the company, experience, and friendship of other families.

Camp Jabberwocky is completely tuition‑free!

As you know, we are one of a handful of charities where nearly every donation goes directly to funding camp programs and operations, a fact that makes us all especially proud!
