Did you know Cradle Beach also welcomes children with no disabilities and across all income ranges?
Cradle Beach is a nurturing, transformative and fun experience in nature with a legacy of 135 years serving the Western New York community. We specialize in bringing together individuals with and without disabilities and/or with economic disadvantages. Our overnight summer camp provides children ages 8-16 opportunities to learn skills, build confidence and grow friendships in accessible facilities, while experiencing hope through magical moments.
Our summer camp is unique because of its inclusive programming and our proximity to Lake Erie. Our 66 acre campus provides beach access with the most beautiful views of the sunset in all of Western New York! While at summer camp, children play and grow with peers of differing abilities and backgrounds. Campers have the opportunity to participate in sports sampling, arts and crafts, disc golf, swimming lessons (in our accessible pool) and so much more! Our inclusive overnight program provides opportunities for children and young adults to have meaningful connections with friends of all abilities.
We know there is growth and healing by being in nature. Our paved trails, sandy beach, gardens, athletic fields, campfire ring, treehouse and more provide a safe and natural environment.
We offer eight, five-day sessions Monday through Friday throughout the summer. Our campers are welcome to attend two non-consecutive sessions each summer. If you are interested in enrolling your child for camp, please visit www.CradleBeach.org or call us at (716) 549-6307 ext. 205.
