The Vanderbilt Kennedy Center offers a variety of camp experiences for children, adolescents, and young adults with and without disabilities. Our camps are a wonderful way to encourage self-esteem, self-respect, and compassion while learning valuable life skills, making new friends, and discovering new interests.
Vanderbilt Kennedy Center camps are unique in that they provide: model services for campers, support for families, training opportunities for college students preparing for educational or service careers, and opportunities for campers and family members to take part in innovative research.
