Activity Leader at Kostopulos Dream Foundation / Camp Kostopulos - Salt Lake City, UT, US
Since 1967, Kostopulos Dream Foundation/Camp Kostopulos has been dedicated to improving the quality of life for people of all abilities through education, recreation, and growth opportunities. Our services are available to people of all abilities, levels of income, and place of residence. Our year-round programs provide opportunities for our students to improve their physical fitness levels, learn healthy lifestyle skills, stretch their imaginations, learn practical life skills, learn problem-solving skills, maximize their potential for independence, and build healthy bodies, minds, and spirits. Our programs provide opportunities for learning and inclusion, and encourage our students to access and enjoy their community, the arts, sports, education, and adaptive recreation. The benefits from our programs create a ripple-effect, impacting not only their lives, but the lives of their families, friends, and ultimately our entire community.We believe that "Everyone Can". We see what our students can accomplish as they participate in our programs. We are changing the paradigm for our students, their families, and the community as a whole, as we demonstrate what they "Can Do". We inspire inclusion, by preparing our students to integrate more fully into their communities, and by expanding acceptance and inclusion within the community as a whole. Our year-round programs include: Summer Camps (Residential, Day, Trip, and Partner), Community Education Programs, Specialty Education Programs, Equestrian Programs, Vocational Rehabilitation, Work Experience, and Team Leadership Training. We serve more than 2,500 individuals annually. In addition to improving the quality of life for people with disabilities, our programs provide much-needed respite care to both these individuals and their families/caregivers. Our beautiful campus in Emigration Canyon, and Team Leadership Trainings, are available to organizations interested in hosting retreats and team-building activities.
