Just taking a moment to say what a wonderful place Camp Jabberwocky is. I’ve worked with a young man named Leif for a number of years now. He is a yearly visitor to this camp, and it is the highlight of every year for him. It’s a chance for him to spread his wings, be independent, and he has developed friendships with campers and staff that will hopfully last for years to come. I’ll be dropping him off at the Wood’s Hole ferry on July 7th for two weeks of unequalled fun.
Thanks to everyone connected with this wonderful place.

I just talked to a neighbor that has vacationed where the camp is located. She had asked me about my daughter going to camp this year and I told her how disappointed Lindsey has been since she “aged out” of Southampton Fresh Air Home. She went there from 6 yrs to 18 yrs. and I have been searching since then for a camp that she could attend. Those were the BEST times of her summer vacation and she loved every minute of it. She is now 20 and I would love any information that I could get regarding the camp and how to enroll or seek enrollment for my Lindsey.

just fyi, campers do pay to attend
but financial assistance is readily and frequently offered
little to no attendees pay the full cost

Hello David and I am sorry if I do not remember you. I have been working at Jabberwocky for the past 28 years in some capacity. The camp phone number is shut off during the winter. Letters will get to the respective directors for each session. ( Camp Jabberwocky PO Box 1357 Vineyard Haven Mass 02568 I will forward email to the directors from my madway4@aol.com. If the directors give me permission to post their personally info here, I will. Please be assured your info will be forwarded. Camp still needs volunteers for the first session. June 19-July 22. We do have some spaces available for campers. The decisions are influenced by age of counselors and how many people we can accommodate who are in wheelchairs. I am looking forward to hearing from you.

I have a 17 year old daughter who really wants to do volunteer work with disabled teens and adults this summer. She is a great kid and could be immensely helpful at a place like Camp Jabberwocky. I used to live on the Vineyard so I have some contacts there- but no one seems to know how to connect with the Jabberwocky staff. Anyone can help us?
Thanks- STX

I heard about this camp through an article in a magazine. I was very interested and was wondering where I could get more information about possibly volunteering there for some time in the summer.
I will check back for a response.
Thanks

Hi
My name is Gretchen Franzen. I attended Camp Jabberwocky back in the 1980′s (1983-1988) I was one of the best experiences in my life. I was wondering if there were any kind of reunions planned in the near future? I would love to visit again. If somebody would be kind enough to get back to me please email @ Gret29111@aol.com
Love to you all and best wishes, Gretchen H. Franzen
