Summer Stars Day Camp

Mission: To help children of all abilities explore new talents while developing social and recreational skills in a fun non-threatening environment.

Vision: For each child to gain a better appreciation of self and to experience greater personal independence.

Planned activities are centered on a theme and are designed to develop communication skills and team building techniques.

Each week includes fieldtrips to local attractions and/or businesses.

DDS uses a “Buddy” system in which campers’ partner with a high school student or adult volunteer. Buddies engage campers in activities and create an inclusive environment for campers.

The Summer Stars Day Camp is a great volunteer opportunity. If you would like a Volunteer Buddy Packet please call 274-3493.

The camp is administered by Developmental & Disability Services of Lebanon Valley.

A Camp Coordinator and Camp Aide oversee the day camp program.

DDS contracts a nurse to assist with activities of daily living, administering medications and to assist as needed.

While DDS will strive to accommodate the special needs of campers, there may be some requests that we are unable to fulfill.
