About Us

For nearly 80 years, Mt. Hood Kiwanis Camp has partnered with the U.S. Forest Service to provide individuals with disabilities an outstanding recreational opportunity in the Mt. Hood National Forest. Each summer our professional staff and trained volunteers offer a unique opportunity to more than 500 campers with cognitive, developmental or physical disabilities that include, among others, Autism Spectrum Disorder, Down’s Syndrome, Traumatic Brain Injury, & Cerebral Palsy. Focusing on campers’ abilities, MHKC programs allow participants to enjoy activities adapted to their special needs — adventure courses, fishing, hiking, horseback rides, canoeing, arts and crafts, swimming, dances, and river rafting.

MHKC has provided more than 15,000 campers with the magic of camp. Thanks to these life-changing experiences our campers’ quality of life is greatly improved.
