Summer Camps
Held at Palomar Christian Conference Center in San Diego County, ICAN Summer Camp is celebrating 50 years of unforgettable memories! Packed with activities like swimming, sports, games, crafts, singing, horseback riding, and more, it’s a safe, inclusive space where adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities build confidence, make lasting friendships, and experience true joy.
This incredible experience wouldn’t be possible without generous sponsors. If you’re here to attend camp or help make it happen, you’re in the right place.
