Ramapo for Children, founded in 1922, is a private, not-for-profit organization serving children with a wide range of emotional, behavioral and learning problems. Located on a 240 acre lakefront campus in Rhinebeck, NY, Ramapo's mission is to provide learning and recreational experiences that promote social, emotional, physical and intellectual growth in children with special needs. Ramapo's summer camp and school-year adventure learning retreats serve over 7,500 fragile children and family members each year.

On-going studies have consistently demonstrated that Ramapo for Children's summer and school-year adventure-based experiential learning programs promote positive character values, build social and learning competencies, and enhance self-esteem.
