Camp Dream Street
Dream Street is a camp that brings together disabled youth and Jewish teenage counselors for a week of fun at Henry S. Jacobs Camp. Dream Street was founded in 1975 with the mission that all children, regardless of their abilities, must be offered the chance to have fun, make new friends, to achieve, to be accepted for who and what they are, and to learn from the challenges of group life. Both the children and the staff at Camp Dream Street benefit from the life-changing experiences the camp has to offer. Dream Street is a place where children with physical disabilities are given the chance to be children – not “special” children, not children with disabilities, but just children. This is the true magic of Camp Dream Street.
