Learn about our model
The Partner Model
We refer to the organizations and groups that camp with us as our partners because we truly create this experience together. Our partners handle the crucial work of bringing their campers, counselors, and specialized medical staff, offer vital insight about the population they serve, and collaborate with their designated Camp Aranzazu team member throughout the planning process. While our team handles the customized design of their camping session and activity facilitation while at camp, we rely on feedback from our partners to ensure we tailor the camp experience to best fit their group's needs.
From meals tailored for special dietary needs to medical devices to adaptive kayak paddles, our highly trained staff researches and sources everything we can for the care and comfort of your campers. Essentially, we design an entire camp experience around every partner and their specific goals and challenges! Our dedicated activity leaders and full-time program team members have years of experience in therapeutic recreation, special education and camping, and they love creating intentional, unforgettable memories for every camper.
