About Camp Blue Skies
Camp Blue Skies offers a traditional camp experience to give adults ages 21-60+ with developmental disabilities a safe, fun place to develop life skills and more confidence, widen their social network, and create cherished memories.
Camp Blue Skies isn’t a physical place. We rent existing camps in the spring and fall for our sessions: Georgia (March), North Carolina (October), and South Carolina (date varies).
We hope to provide each camper with fun and adventure through appropriate challenges and a better understanding of self and others through group living with shared experiences.
Dick Sesler, Founder
Our camps
A mother said of her son’s experience: “He matured and experienced challenges that his overly protective mother had never given him. Even his speech is clearer. I am just amazed. He seems to have newfound confidence and enthusiasm about life in general and camp.”
