This year's event took place on Friday evening, July 31st, 2009. It is organized by Doug and Laura Respecki. SCAMP stands for "A Special CAMP for Special Kids" and is geared to meet the challenges of youth with special needs (mentally, emotionally, and/or physically disabled) and became a reality in 1976. It is a five-week program that includes activities that help enhance social interaction, motor skills, self-image and academic skills for more than 300 students from North Oakland County and adjoining communities. It is a camp like this that allows these individuals to participate in activities that can be adjusted for their special physical or mental needs which allows them to continue their life education throughout the year.
