Canoeing

Put on your life jacket and grab a paddle! If you have never canoed before, or if you are paddling fool you will love spending some time on Camp Dream’s lake.

Disc Golf

INNOVA Disc Golf Disc golf is like traditional golf, but players use a flying disc to try to make baskets with the least number of throws. INNOVA Disc Golf will be sending a staff member, who is also an amputee, to help lead this activity. They are also donating demo targets and discs for us to use for the event.

Fishing

We will again be having time for some fishing at the Camp Dream Lake. Maybe you could catch the “Big One”. Friends of Warm Springs Hatchery and the Warm Springs National Fish Hatchery will be partnering with us to lead this event.

Quad Rugby

For those of you that were at camp last year, we have contacted Blaze Sports and they will again be leading this awesome activity. For you new campers, Quad Rugby is a high impact game where players use wheelchairs and are divided into two teams. The object is to get the ball across the other team’s goal.

For more information visit Blaze Sports

Swimming

What is camp without time at the pool? We will be having some fun in the sun and may even swim a few laps in Camp Dream’s outdoor pool!

Stunts Ability

David Smith was born missing his left arm just below the elbow.  He is a movie stunt man and will give the campers a chance to see what being in the movies is all about.
