Riley program accepting camper applications

“Blast from the Past” is the theme for this year’s Camp Riley program, a camp for kids with physical disabilities.

Online applications to secure a spot are available at rileykids.org/Camp. Camp Riley is conducted at Bradford Woods, Indiana University’s outdoor recreation center near Martinsville.

The staff-to-camper ratio never exceeds one to three. Children ages 8 to 18 can attend one of five Camp Riley sessions offered during a six-week span in June and July. Sessions offer swimming, hiking, horseback riding, vertical climbing, canoeing, art projects and other activities.

New families may attend Newcomer’s Day on May 30 at Camp Riley to learn more.

Riley Children’s Foundation subsidizes most of each child’s camper fee. The fee families are asked to pay is determined on a sliding scale based on household income.
