ABOUT

Belwood Lodge and Camp is a summer camp for people aged 7-99 with intellectual disabilities. We strive to make our camp a home away from home, fostering independence and lifelong friendships.

Belwood Lodge and Camp was founded in 1946 and has grown to be a place where year after year our campers and lodgers flock to reexperience the magic of camp. Many of our lodgers come for many years, it is not uncommon for a lodger to have come to our camp for 20+ years.

We work to make our camp as accessible as possible. We have pathways throughout camp making moving to different places in camp easy for those with mobility devices. We also have an accessible swimming pool which has a ramp for entrance so all people can access the refreshing pool.

Trudi has a degree in Therapeutic Recreation and holds the designation of Certified Therapeutic Recreation Specialist.

Trudi also has her trusty sidekick Charlie. Charlie is a black lab who loves meeting new people, his favourite part of camp is saying good morning to the campers and lodgers and getting pets from all the people who want to say hello.
