Something we're very proud of... Thanks for sharing about it Clarity Writing & Research LLC. #campforall #dei #access #camping #youthdevelopment
Camp Fire’s C.A.M.P.E.R. initiative was "created to remove barriers and expand overnight camp opportunities among historically excluded identities including 1) young people from economically underserved backgrounds, 2) LGBTQ2S+ youth, and 3) young people with disabilities." Clarity was delighted to help them document the strategic supports their national headquarters provided to local camps through the initiative and to collect meaningful data about the changes participating camps were able to make as a result. One of the key findings that emerged was that making campgrounds accessible for youth with disabilities makes them more accessible for all.
