Camp Jake is an annual camp for St. Vincent’s Center for Handicapped Children in Haiti. Each summer, blind, deaf and non-ambulatory campers are encouraged to express themselves through music, art, sports, aquatics and a myriad of other activities. Participants take part in occupational and physical therapy, expand on personal hygiene, and learn new career-building skills. Most importantly, they learn to love and accept themselves for who they are—limitations and all—and experience that love and respect reciprocated by Camp Jake counselors.
