Camp No Limits encourages families to attend with their loved one, and provides campers with education, peer support, and physical and occupational therapy. Camp No Limits’ ultimate goal is to help campers feel a sense of belonging, make life-long friends, and know that they are capable of achieving their dreams. To date, Hanger Foundation has been able to send over 5,000 families to Camp No Limits. In addition to the financial contribution, Hanger employees volunteer their time to help staff the camps and provide encouragement and support to the campers.
