Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

Camp Blue Skies Foundation offers residential camps, four week-long and one weekend, for adults with developmental disabilities, to enhance their lives through recreation, socialization and life skills education.

  • The 2024 five-day/four night camp sessions took place in two locations: near Atlanta, Georgia (Camp Twin Lakes in Rutledge, GA) and in Western North Carolina (YMCA Camp Harrison in Boomer, NC). Camps were leased for one-week programs in March and October. The website is maintained for camper sign-up and for recruitment of volunteers. There is extensive planning for camp sessions for adults with developmental disabilities. The Williams syndrome camp session was held March 7-11, 2024 and served 68 adults with Williams syndrome with help from 56 volunteers. A second camp session in Georgia was held March 13-17, 2024 and served 66 disabled adults with help from 51 volunteers. The first North Carolina session was held October 5-9, 2024 and served 63 disabled adults with help from 70 volunteers. The second NC session was held October 12-16, 2024 and served 77 disabled adults with help from 63 volunteers. A third camp option, Weekend camp (3 day/2 night session) was held April 12-14, 2024 in upstate South Carolina (YMCA Camp Thunderbird in Lake Wylie, SC) and served 36 disabled adults with help from 41 volunteers.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those.
