This we want to thank all of our amazing staff who worked so hard to make Camp this summer one of the best ever! We appreciate the dedication, empathy, and enthusiasm they brought to camp each and every day!

As a special celebration for the end of summer camp we hosted a staff dodgeball tournament Friday morning before the last day of Camp! Congrats to Orange and Yellow group for winning the best two out of three competition and the girls for defeating the boys in a nail biter that came down to a one on one duel with the girls coming out on top!

We closed out the final day of Camp GonnawannaGOagin' Friday with the campers leading the group in one final Camp Song! This summer was one of the best yet and we can't wait to see all our friends again soon at year-round programs and next summer!

Week 7 💙
..and just like that, Campgonnawannagoagin' 2026 has come to an end! 🥹☀️ Our campers brought so much joy to camp each and every week.

A huge THANK YOU to our amazing staff and volunteers who made this summer possible. Your patience, dedication, kindness, and endless energy helped make camp a safe, welcoming, and unforgettable place for everyone. We are so grateful for each and every one of you! 🫶

What a summer it has been! Until next summer… we’re already gonna wanna go again! 🏕️✨

This we wanted to highlight FACT’s first ever all identical twins group from Camp last week! The Cherry Blossoms (as they chose to call their group) was made up of three sets of twins (campers, volunteers, and staff). They decided to put on a wonderful performance of “Umbrella” on Friday. Not to be left out of the twinning fun, our pair of boy identical twins decided to join them onstage as dancers!

One of the best parts of our end of week Parties at Camp GonnawannaGOagin’ is getting to see the incredible and unique talents of our awesome autistic campers! Check out the beat boxing skills of two of our campers (accompanied by some dancers) that helped us close out Week 5 this past Friday!

Week 5 is a little bittersweet. 💙☀️

It's hard to believe we're already more than halfway through camp! There's still so much fun ahead, and we're excited to make every day count with our amazing campers.
