Friendship Circle’s Overnight Camp Brings Joy to Children with Disabilities

For many children, summer camp is a cherished rite of passage full of adventure, friendship, and independence, but for children with disabilities, these opportunities can be few and far between. Thanks to support from Oakland Hills Country Club and Plum Hollow Country Club, Friendship Circle provided an unforgettable Overnight Summer Camp experience to 49 children and teens with disabilities in 2024, ensuring that every child had the chance to experience the magic of camp.

Friendship Circle offers two week-long overnight camps for children with disabilities, allowing them to immerse themselves in a world of fun, friendship, and inclusion. From swimming and paddleboarding, to arts and crafts, and even a talent show to showcase hidden talents, each activity is designed to foster confidence, independence, and a sense of belonging.

At drop-off, the impact was already clear. “Two parents of different campers approached me during drop-off with happy tears in their eyes. They told me they were so thankful for Friendship Circle and expressed how meaningful it is to have a place where their kiddo belongs because it is something they had struggled to find for a long time,” shared a Friendship Circle team member.

Eagles for Children is proud to support Friendship Circle’s mission to ensure every individual with special needs receives the support, friendship, and inclusion they deserve.
