A sold-out crowd of 600 people embraced the Big Top theme with circus-inspired costumes as the attire of many. Among them was Ginger Bertrandwho was honored along with her late mother Sybil Roos for the family’s long-standing support of the camp.

Speaking about the generosity of supporters, Camp For All President and CEO Pat Sorrells Notes: “Their generosity not only means we can continue to offer innovative, barrier-free programming through our highly trained and passionate staff in our beautiful, expansive campgrounds, but most importantly, we can bring the magic of camp to even more deserving campers.”

Live auctions, which included a four-night stay in exquisite Sedona Piñon Woods and an extraordinary opportunity to visit contemporary artist Hunt Slonem’s Manhattan studio, contributed to the seven-figure proceeds.

“Camp For All offers more than just a week of summer fun to its campers,” shares Kristen Moreno Her daughter, who has cerebral palsy and doesn’t speak, attended six summer sessions. “It took Claire out of my watchful eye. It showed us both that we can survive without being tied down to each other.”

“Claire always came home a little more mature, more talkative and more outgoing. Not a year goes by without Claire asking when and where she’s going to camp thanks to those first successful summers at Camp pour Tous.”

For over 30 years, Camp For All has welcomed children and adults with special needs or serious illnesses.
