The wonder and delight as campers experience the cool brisk water of a glacial lake or toast their first marshmallow by a crackling campfire...

The grateful expressions of parents when they see the look of contentment on their child's face as he or she falls asleep, exhausted by the day's exciting activities...

The Ingeborg A. Biondo Memorial Foundation is involved in a venture meant to bring together typical children and children with special needs in a camp setting.  Established as a small program with ambitious plans, the Foundation's camping program has grown dramatically and now underwrites the cost for many children from the tri-state area to experience the joys of summer camp.

The Foundation provides unique and rewarding summer camp opportunities at the following locations:

Blue Mountain Day Camp - Stillwater, New Jersey - www.sussexcountyymca.org/camp/blue-mountain-day-camp.html

Camp LeeMar - Lackawaxen, Pennsylvania - www.leemar.com

Camp Nejeda - Stillwater, New Jersey - www.campnejeda.org

Camp Shohola - Greely, Pennsylvania - www.shohola.com

Country Ark Farm - Milford, Pennsylvania - www.countryarkfarm.org

Gait - www.gaitpa.org

PEEC - Dingmans Ferry, Pennsylvania - www.peec.org

The Foundation also sponsors summer camp programs at the Center for Developmental Disabilities in Milford, Pennsylvania as well as through the Delaware Valley School District.
