FindAWay4Kids grows Camp Boggy Creek support for children with cerebral palsy

FindAWay4Kids has renewed its partnership with Camp Boggy Creek for a second year, helping expand the camp’s Cerebral Palsy Session to 73 children from 35 last year. The program offers medically supervised camp experiences and reflects growing demand for inclusive summer programming for children with disabilities.

Why it matters: - The partnership is expanding access to a camp experience designed for children with cerebral palsy. - The program gives families a setting where medical support and traditional camp activities can coexist. - Attendance more than doubled year over year, signaling stronger demand for inclusive, medically supported programming.

What happened: - FindAWay4Kids renewed its partnership with Camp Boggy Creek for a second consecutive year. - The collaboration supports Camp Boggy Creek’s Cerebral Palsy Session. - The 2026 session served 73 children with cerebral palsy. - Last year’s session served 35 children. - The latest session took place during Camp Boggy Creek’s 30th anniversary year.

The details: - Camp Boggy Creek provides a medically supervised camp experience for children living with cerebral palsy. - Campers can take part in swimming, boating, arts and crafts, music, and other outdoor activities. - On-site medical teams work with camp staff and volunteers throughout the week. - The program is structured to remove barriers that often limit participation in traditional summer camps. - Many campers experience traditional camp activities alongside peers who share similar challenges. - Parents describe the session as a chance for children to build independence and friendships while their medical needs are met. - Lorena Perozo, CEO of FindAWay4Kids, said the children represent families who want to see their kids gain confidence, make friends, and “simply be kids” in a setting made for them. - Nicklaus Children’s Hospital has supported the initiative by helping raise awareness and connect eligible families with the program.

Between the lines: - The growth in attendance suggests the camp model is meeting an unmet need for families seeking safe, inclusive summer experiences. - The 30th anniversary gives the partnership added visibility and may help reinforce long-term support from donors, hospitals, and community partners. - FindAWay4Kids is framing the effort as part of a broader push to improve outcomes for children and families affected by serious illness or disability.

What's next: - FindAWay4Kids expects its involvement with the program to continue in the coming years. - The organization says it will keep working with Camp Boggy Creek, Nicklaus Children’s Hospital, and other partners to expand access. - Future growth will likely depend on continued community interest and family participation. - The partnership aims to reach more children and families as demand for the session increases.

The bottom line: - FindAWay4Kids is helping scale a camp model that gives children with cerebral palsy a chance to participate, connect, and have a traditional summer experience with the support they need.
