Camp NOVA’s goal has always been to create a wonderful opportunity for children and adults living with epilepsy and other intellectual and developmental disabilities to enjoy summer camp. Each summer, campers enjoy a week of traditional camp activities such as swimming in the lake, boating, fishing, zip-lining, arts and crafts, yoga, dancing, acting, and of course, s’mores at the evening campfire.
