Camp Safari is a week-long summer day camp that operates from 10:00 am to 3:00 pm. There are two sessions each summer — this year camp runs June 21 - June 25, 2010 and again August 16 - August 20, 2010. Each camper has a one-on-one teen volunteer supporter in addition to trained camp staff.

Camp Safari 2010 will be held at Paradise Farms in Downingtown. Each week of camp is $580. Parents of children receiving funding through the Chester County Department of Mental Health/Intellectual & Developmental Disabilities are encouraged to contact their case managers to discuss funding for Camp Safari.
