Camp Dream Street, based in Utica, Mississippi, is a nonprofit organization serving children with physical disabilities through an overnight camp program. Established in 1975, the camp aims to provide an environment where eight- to fourteen-year-old campers can participate in typical camp activities, form friendships, and learn from group living experiences, regardless of their abilities. The program serves children primarily from Mississippi and neighboring regions and is able to accommodate about sixty campers each summer. The organization operates within the individual and family services sector, focusing on inclusion and acceptance by presenting children with physical disabilities as everyday peers rather than emphasizing their limitations. The camp emphasizes a child-centered approach that involves both campers and staff in meaningful, life-changing experiences in a supportive setting.
