About Us
Camp Happiness
We strive to fulfill our
mission by extending and complementing the educational
experiences provided to participants throughout their school
year and serving as a resource offering a period of respite for
the primary care giver. We develop activity plans to assist
participants in their social, educational and physical
development. We provide a safe, enjoyable recreational and
educational group experience and create an awareness of
community and
Programming is based on parent input and the individual needs of the campers as stated in that person’s IEP. Recreational, social and educational activities are planned accordingly. The development of social skills and interaction with peers is stressed. Efforts to build community integration and socialization skills involve weekly special events and interesting field trips to a variety of settings. Program activities are designed to allow individuals a chance to participate to the best of their ability as they develop skills learned in school.
Who We Are Camp Happiness is operated by Catholic Charities Health and Human Services of the Diocese of Cleveland.

Staffing
Transportation We do provide transportation to participants. Financial assistance may be available to residents of Cuyahoga County. We would like to clarify a transportation procedure. It is very important that the designated person is at the pick-up address when the camper is being dropped off. The transportation company cannot wait for someone to come home – this just delays the other campers from getting home in a timely manner. Please read this new procedure:
The transportation company will attempt to drop the camper off, if no one is home, all other campers will be dropped off. The Transportation Company will make every effort to contact the parents and emergency contacts during this time. If at the end of the route no one can be contacted, the camper will be taken to the local police station.
Accredited by the American Camp Association Camp Happiness is proud to be accredited by the American Camp Association. Please visit their website to learn more.
