South Carolina Recreation Guide for Children with Disabilities


Throughout the years, summer camps and activities have evolved into
activities which emphasize childrens' abilities over their disabilities, and allow
children to have an enriching summer experience.
This summer, treat your child to exciting summer activities designed just
for them. More and more recreation boards are developing and integrating
programs for children with special needs into their regular programs. This
change makes it easier for parents to find fun and educational summer
programs that their children can enjoy.
The South Carolina Recreation Guide is a compilation of camps, parks,
playgrounds, attractions and programs which all cater to individuals with
disabilities. Listed with every activity is contact information, telephone
numbers and websites.
