| Mission Statement:
| Camp Lotsafun provides recreational, therapeutic and educational opportunities for individuals with developmental disabilities, while providing respite care for their families. Children teen and adults with disabilities are often excluded from social interactions and free play with peers due to their inability to verbally express themselves, short attention span, and lack of interaction with others. This often leads to social isolation and decreased physical activity.
