2022 Marks Thirty Years as an Inclusive Camp<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Press release<\/p>\n\n\n\n

RIDGEWAY \u2013 Arc\u2019s GLOW\u2019s Jenifer Batt is gearing up for another exciting season at Camp Rainbow! \u201cWe are currently accepting applications for 2022 campers and camp staff,\u201d Jenifer said. While this is her 5th year as camp director, Jenifer\u2019s connection to Camp Rainbow began in 2002 when as a college intern, she worked with families to help enroll their children. \u201cThis year, we really want to stress the availability of scholarships for eligible campers that cover one week of camp and transportation,\u201d the director said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 2022 season kicks off July 11 and runs through August 12 and each session lasts one week, Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Camp is open to all children ages 5 \u2013 21; Younger children must have finished their first year of elementary school and campers over 16 must still be in school to attend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While Camp Rainbow was originally designed to meet the needs of children with developmental and\/or physical disabilities, it was opened up to all children in 1992. Since that time, Camp Rainbow has encouraged friendships and understanding among all children, promoting integration and inclusion. \u201cWhat a great milestone \u2013 thirty years of making memories for all children,\u201d Jenifer said. \u201cPeople love to reminisce about their time at Camp Rainbow \u2013 in fact I just learned that one of the counselors we hired for this summer is a former camper,\u201d Jenifer shared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The camp schedule includes daily participation in arts and crafts, music, nature and science, and athletics programming, under the supervision of a team of enthusiastic camp counselors. The camp nurse is on-site at all times during the camp day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Campers will receive two wholesome meals daily at no charge, through the assistance of the Summer Food Service Program offered by the New York State Department of Education. With parental consent, children will enjoy free swim time under the supervision of a certified lifeguard in Camp\u2019s 4-foot in-ground swimming pool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are excited to announce that our field trip to the Orleans County Fair returns this year for the first time since 2019,\u201d Jenifer said. \u201cIt\u2019s always an exciting week!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Positions are available for people looking for a fun and rewarding work experience this summer. Openings include counselors, lifeguards and a head lifeguard (click here) Recruitment (adp.com)<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The week-long camper scholarships that are available include the cost of tuition, meals and transportation for a week of camp. Campers can come for a week, multiple weeks, or the entire five weeks. However, scholarships are for one week only in order to give as many kids as possible the camp experience. Private pay cost for camp is $135\/week for tuition and $90\/week for transportation. New this year, with enough interest, a Batavia-based bus pick up\/transportation option will be added. Parents can also provide their own transportation to and from camp. Transportation and scholarships are limited so it is important to get applications in soon. They can be found on the Camp Rainbow page of Arc GLOW\u2019s website (click here) Camp Rainbow – Meals, Swimming, Crafts, Friends | ARC GLOW<\/a> and are due May 15. If you have questions or need assistance with completing or returning the application, please call Jenifer Batt at 585-343-1123 ext. 1150 or email jbatt@arcglow.org.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Camp History \u2013 Located at 2272 Yates-Carlton Townline Road, the Shenberger family generously donated the property that is home to Camp Rainbow. They wanted to help create a place where children with disabilities, now all children, had opportunities for fun and interaction. Volunteers then spent hundreds of hours clearing the land and building the facilities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
