CAMP PROGRAM INFO: Trailways Camp founders Jerry and Sharon Miller attend every camp session as volunteers and friends to each camper. Camp Director, Jamie Senkeleski has been directing Trailways Camps, Inc. sessions since August 2012. Trailways Camps, Inc. is determined to bring the mission of “Enabling adults with special needs, and those who care for them, to grow their social, emotional and spiritual relationships" to each session.
Trailways Camps, Inc. strives to meet its goals at each and every camp. We create opportunities for fun, friends, and support through structured activities in an environment designed to promote socialization and interaction. Reducing social isolation by building friendships and lasting relationships with other adults and thereby improving individual life experiences is a high priority. In addition, we promote interest in outdoor activities by providing recreational activities that enhance individual skills.
Through reflections and nature, we encourage spiritual expression and growth. By providing overnight camping experiences, we encourage energy renewal time/respite for families/caregivers. And most of all, it is our hope that with each camping session we honor the memory of Robert V. & Benjamin G. Miller whose “Joyful Spirits” inspired the Founding of Trailways Camps. Come to a place where you will learn "That You Are Something Special."
