Camp Able
Camp Able is a nationally known camp serving children and adults with disabilities, or "diverse-abilities." Each June, we host a traditional day camp that offers many outdoor and indoor activities for your camper in a safe and nurturing environment with a camper/counselor ratio of 1:1. Your camper will climb, zip, slide in the mud, canoe, swim, fish, hike, and make new friends at St. Columba near Memphis, Tennessee.
