About Us
The Kostopulos Dream Foundation is an agency
dedicated to improving the lives of people with disabilities.
For
forty years, we have offered recreational opportunities
for individuals of all ages and abilities.
Our longest running program, Camp Kostopulos,
is a residential summer camp where kids, teens, and adults with
disabilities
are able to engage in a variety of activities.
During a week-long stay, campers go fishing,
ride horses, camp out, sing songs, work on arts and crafts projects,
challenge themselves on the ropes course, make new friends, and
renew old friendships.
Other campers may opt to enjoy a week on
the road as a participant in the Travel Trip Adventures program.
Groups of campers
and staff paraticipate in week-long camp trips to places such
as Moab or Jackson Hole. River running, hiking, viewing wildlife,
and
visiting
attractions
are all a part of these trips.
Why Camp Kostopulos?
Our highly trained staff,
excellent counselor to camper ratios and fantastic accommodations
set us above the rest. We don't
stop when the summer ends. During the rest of the year, participants
may explore leisure activities throughout the Salt Lake Valley
in camp's community- based recreation programs. We offer
K-Kid Adventures, an after school program for kids 7-12, as well
as Teen Quest, and the Adult Social Club, which are evening
programs that allow teens and adults to socialize and
engage in a variety
of activities.
In addition to these activities, camp offers programs
and facility rentals to many different corporate, civic and social
groups.
The Leadership
Challenge program uses high and low challenge ropes course events
with initiative programming to provide an excellent non-traditional
training opportunity.
Finally, private rentals of the Camp Kostopulos
facility are offered on weekends during the summer and throughout
the
year. Weddings, retreats, school field trips, and company picnics
can all be accommodated at our site.
Service and volunteerism are at the heart
of any nonprofit agency. Our success has been facilitated by
the
kindness and generosity of our community. Volunteers give their
time and effort to assist in the programs or work on physical
projects
at camp. Others may choose to assist us financially. The rewards
of giving back to your community can not be measured. Please
contact us to become a part of the magic that is the Kostopulos
Dream
Foundation.
