Winter Camp
Winter Camp” to read: Held at the Pine Summit Camp & Conference Center in Big Bear, CA, we are so excited for both of our upcoming ICAN Winter Camp Weekends! Packed with activities like sledding, snowball fights, skiing/snowboarding, bowling, crafts, singing, friendship-building, 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.
