Dear Volunteers, Corporations, Families, and Friends,
 
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to all the volunteers, family members, friends, and generous companies who have whole heartedly supported Camp Acorn with their time and generous donations. Your unwavering dedication and selfless contributions have been instrumental in creating unforgettable experiences and fostering a nurturing environment for individuals with developmental disabilities. Your generosity has provided invaluable resources, from essential supplies to enriching activities, enabling us to fulfill our mission of promoting growth, empowerment, and inclusion. Your kindness and support have touched the lives of countless individuals, leaving a lasting impact that extends far beyond the bounds of our camp community. From the bottom of our hearts, we thank you for your unwavering commitment and belief in our vision. Together, we continue to make a meaningful difference in the lives of those we serve.
 
Cathy Carisi, our founder and Executive Director, started volunteering as a teenager and her goal in starting Camp Acorn was not only to help support our campers, but also give our volunteers a great experience that is both challenging and fun. We just wanted to bring out the best in everyone and it’s people like you that have brought out the best in Camp Acorn.
 
We currently have over 300 unique volunteers per year now. While many of them come from Bergen county,  Passaic county, New York state, and groups from as far as Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Kearny NJ.  Additionally, we have corporate volunteers from companies such as Stryker Spine, Best Buy in Woodland Park, KPMG, Bank of America, and many others.   
 
Please follow us on Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter and be sure to check out our website over the coming weeks and months.
 
We never would have come this far if it wasn’t for the time and energy you’ve given to camp. It all comes down to our campers and volunteers, and the energy and the magic that they create together at Camp Acorn.
 
We hope you understand how much we appreciate your efforts on behalf of our campers, our organization, and our camp community. Together, we have done great things so far and the future looks very bright!
 
Much love and respect,
 
~ Camp Acorn

  1. It was so wonderful working with the staff and campers during the Super Saturday program. The campers were excited and engaged in all of the activities provided. I can’t wait to join you again in the future.
