Welcome to the Official Site of Camp Dream Street, MS!
Dream Street is a five day four night camping program for children with physical disabilities. The camp is held on the grounds of URJ Henry S. Jacobs Camp in Utica, MS and is sponsored by NFTY’s Southern Region.
Dream Street was founded in 1975 with the mission that we believe all children, regardless of their abilities, must be offered the chance to have fun, make new friends, to achieve, to be accepted for who and what they are, and to learn from the challenges of group life. Both the children and the staff at Camp Dream Street benefit from the life-changing experiences the camp has to offer. Dream Street is a place where children with physical disabilities are given the chance to be children – not “special” children, not children with disabilities, but just children. This is the true magic of Camp Dream Street.
Dream Street campers come from Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkansas and West Tennessee and are between the ages of eight and fourteen. All of our campers are children with physical disabilities. Predominant diagnoses of our campers include cerebral palsy, spina bifida, limb deficiencies, spinal cord injury, communicative disorders and other developmental disabilities. We are able to accept approximately sixty children each summer for the program. Eligible children should be able to participate in an overnight camping program, be between the ages of 8 and 14, and have a physical disability or mobility impairment.
