History

In 1970, a group of citizens from various civic organizations created the first residential camp for children and adults who are mentally disabled. In 1997, Camp Arc grew to include children who are not disabled. In 1970, Camp Arc served 42 campers. Today Camp Arc serves over 300 campers during eight weeks of day camp at Boyd Hill Recreation Center and one week of residential camp at Bethelwoods.
