What it’s all about
From the end of June to the end of August, Camp Jabberwocky offers children and adults with a wide range of disabilities the chance to enjoy the summer in a small family-like community – living together and enjoying jam-packed days filled with adventurous activities and experiences that are safe, empowering, exciting and fun. While at camp, campers enjoy activities and classes on campus and out and about in the community of Martha’s Vineyard.
At Jabberwocky, people with different abilities form the majority in the community. Their needs become priority needs; their concerns become concerns. And in this age, when cultural and individual sense of belonging is waning, a community that works is a light of hope.
Camp activities
No matter what you like, we have something for everyone.
Island trips
Almost every day we find ourselves on the Red Bus heading to some awesome part of the island. You can hear us singing a mile away.
Camp play
From Fame, to Grease, to Frankenstein, every year our musical is filled with amazing voices and stellar theatrical performances.
Horseback riding
Take a stroll through the wonderful Edgartown wilderness on the back of wild stallion. Or a tame one. Either way it’s great.
Arts and Crafts
Drawing, painting, sculpting, and spinning are all on the menu at the art cabin. Projects range from incredible to amazing.
Music
Every morning our voices are raised in song. Whether it’s in music class or on the bus, we’ve got a list of songs we’re learning every summer.
Technology
Our computer room has the latest and greatest in adaptive technology - allowing our campers to blog, vlog, draw, and surf on the computer.
Barbeques
What would summer be without a grill? Every now and then we heat up the charcoals and have ourselves a good ‘ol camp-wide barbeque.
Movie Nights
Tuckered out from the beach? Is town too far a walk? Sometimes we just have to stay in. Popcorn and water make a good movie into a great night.
Boating
Kayaks, row boats, the Black Dog, and the Skipper. Jabberwocky loves boats, and there is no shortage of them over the summer.
Biking
Thanks to wonderful donations from patrons like you we have two tandem recumbent bicycles. We enjoy the island in style and comfort.
Beach
If we didn’t live at camp, we’d probably live at the beach. After all, we’re the only ones with a parking spot large enough for a bus.
Concerts
Sometimes we just need to go full-on footloose and shake a leg. We might bring musicians to us, we might go to them!
