CAMP PROGRAM INFO: The History. Established in 1995, Adventure Amputee Camp (AAC) is a non-profit organization that offers a traditional overnight camp experience to young amputees ranging from ages 8 to 17. Campers and volunteers across the Midwest and Southeast travel to participate each year. Held at the Nantahala Outdoor Center in Bryson City, North Carolina, the camp provides space for young amputees to gain confidence and explore their potential in an environment of encouragement and acceptance. The Camp. The activities offered at camp further the objectives by stretching a camper's physical and mental capacities.

AAC offers a spectrum of activities that range from physically and mentally challenging to relaxing and entertaining. Activities such as river rafting, high ropes and waterskiing are physically demanding and introduced to broaden the physical, mental and emotional resources of the camper. Activities such as bowling, crafts, and swimming may be less physically demanding, yet, force campers to cognitively re-assess what is obtainable or imaginable.

Recently, in 2013, we began a winter camp to complement our summer activities and continue to stretch the potential of our campers.

CAMP SCHOLARSHIPS OR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE: AAC is a low-cost camp that only requires a $25 application fee.

CAMP SESSION DATES & FEES:
Our next camp will be held in July of 2015. Our next winter camp will be held January of 2015. For additional information, see Our Camp Website Link: www.adventureamputeecamp.org
