    True Friends, a Minnesota nonprofit that provides experiences for children and adults with disabilities, has opened registration for day camp at Camp Eden Wood in Eden Prairie for the first time since the COVID-19 pandemic.

    “We are thrilled to announce that day camp is back,” said John LeBlanc, president and CEO of True Friends. “This program is perfect for kids and adults with physical and developmental disabilities who want a true Minnesota camp experience without an overnight stay.”

    At Camp Eden Wood, campers choose their activities and determine their level of participation, including a multi-sensory environment, gross motor room, arts and crafts, hiking trails, and a ropes course. As part of camp, True Friends also offers day trips to museums, pools, parks, and more.

    “Our campers and their families tell us that camp is their favorite time of the year,” LeBlanc said. “It’s a place that creates belonging for people of all abilities. It’s a place where they can relax and be themselves – and that’s something we all deserve.”
