● Accessibility
Designed for Disability
Camp Lavender is committed to building an environment where disabled, neurodivergent, and chronically ill community members can participate fully. We design our days with predictable schedules, quiet spaces, sensory supports, and adaptable programming. As a fully disabled-led organization, access is never an afterthought, but a core thought of how we practice community care.

What We Offer
Self-Selected Activities
Campers choose their afternoon activities each day. This helps everyone decide what works best for their body, energy level, and comfort that day.
Alternate Activities
Every activity that might be too physical, loud, or sensory-heavy will have a calmer, more accessible option you can join instead.
Calls Home
Campers who are having a hard time (with homesickness, anxiety, etc.) can call home if needed. Camp is otherwise a phone-free space to help everyone stay present and connected.
Turtle Time
Each day has a quiet hour called Turtle Time. It’s a time to rest, nap, stretch, stim, write, or simply recharge. Everyone is encouraged to use this time however they need.

About Our Space
We currently rent our campsite while we dream of a future where we have a permanent, fully accessible home in the woods.
This year's campsite is a fully accessible residential camp designed to remove physical barriers and offers a range of meaningful accessibility features. Campers can navigate between cabins, the dining hall, amphitheater, waterfront area, and shared activity spaces via accessible walkways that are paved or well maintained so that most participants can move around with confidence.
The property includes accessible cabin lodging, dining facilities, and activity spaces, and the waterfront area has docks and routes designed for inclusive access. There may be slopes throughout that can affect ease of movement. Staff are experienced in supporting folks with a broad range of needs, and programming is structured to be inclusive at every stage of participation.
We’re happy to talk through specific access needs in detail. If your camper uses mobility aids, has sensory or physical access considerations, or needs support navigating the site, we’ll work with you to create a plan that keeps them comfortable, safe, and included. Please reach out to us at info@camplavender.org with any questions.
