The Arc of Warren County’s Camp Warren keeps getting a little sweeter thanks to generous grants and donations. This time, the grant is from Stewartsville’s Greenwich Autism Alliance Foundation.

The grant will be used to purchase T-shirts for the Summer Camp and Recreation Program, as well as other items that will elevate the camp experience for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities.  These products include a new chest freezer, a portable training soccer goal set, a portable basketball hoop, a basketball, fishing lures, tackle and lines, and portable dining chairs.

“I am pleased that the Greenwich Autism Alliance Foundation can support Camp Warren to continue to provide joy to individuals with special needs,” said Kelly Milazzo, Greenwich Autism Alliance Foundation President. “It is the second time we have awarded funding to The Arc of Warren County.  This is an organization that provides much needed services to the community and it aligns with our mission. I am glad that these funds will be used for such a worthy cause.”

Camp Warren is managed by the Recreation Department at The Arc of Warren County. Camp Warren has provided a quality summer camping experience on a scenic 35-acre site in Knowlton Township since 1962. Adult residential camps are available for two weeks during the summer and four weeks of day camp are provided for both adults and children. Activities include swimming, arts and crafts, music, sports, games, fishing, and group activities.

The focus of the camp supports the development of social, behavioral, and interpersonal skills and daily living and physical skills.

Many Camp Warren Counselors have backgrounds in special education or related fields in Human Services. All counselors receive training on how to care for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities prior to the summer camp program.

“We are very grateful for the continued generosity of the Greenwich Autism Alliance Foundation,” said John Whitehead, CEO of The Arc of Warren County. “This grant provides the Agency with the opportunity to be able to purchase items that will help make the camp experience even more enjoyable.”
