The Munroe-Meyer Institute’s Camp Munroe began on Monday and will continue to host campers for the next six weeks in the Recreation Therapy Department at MMI. <\/p>\n

The camp, designated for children ages 3 to 21 with developmental disabilities, is now in its 26th year. Staff members and volunteers create the traditional day camp activities including art, cooking, sports swimming and recreational and leisure activities. <\/p>\n

The one to one ratio of camp staff to campers ensures that every camper has the opportunity to participate in every activity. <\/p>\n

Here are some photos from the camp’s first week:<\/p>\n
