The camp is THE event of the year in the life of youngsters with disabilities and the whole Integra centre.

Wer organisiert das Projekt?
Social center Integra provides care for their clients - children and adults with heavy mental and physical disabilities and in lots of cases also for people with inhibited senses. Most of the clients are on wheelchairs and are visiting the centre on daily, weekly or annual bases. The volunteers in the centre are breaking down the routine of the clients and employees.
