The Down syndrome foundation offers a summer camp experience for individuals with Down syndrome ages 10-21 called the Down Syndrome Camp.

The Down Syndrome Summer Camp is held at the wonderful Camp Knutson, an ACA accredited camp on the shores of Trout Lake. Camp Knutson, owned by Lutheran Social Services, is non-denominational and its sole intent has always been to focus on providing summer camp experiences for people with medical and special needs. For more about Camp Knutson, go to http://www.lssmn.org/camp/

Next summer's Down Syndrome Camp for youth with Down syndrome, ages 10-21, will be held from June 14-18, 2009 at Camp Knutson. Youth have a great five day, four night experience guided by wonderful staff who are there to see that they are in a safe environment while taking part in exciting camp activities!

The Down Syndrome Camp was created and is directed by governing committees of parents and educators concerned with providing exceptional experiences for young people with Down syndrome. The Down Syndrome Foundation has supported the Down Syndrome Camp from the beginning with scholarships, underwriting basic costs, materials, equipment, camper supplies and stipends for staff.

The Mission of the camps is to provide a safe and welcoming environment
educationally sound activities that encourage independence, socialization, cooperation and personal rewards
opportunities for increased physical fitness and health benefits
experiences commonly shared by the larger community
