Celebrating 75 Years of Camp Cheerful

The Achievement Centers’ Camp Cheerful, in Strongsville, Ohio, opened in 1947 as Ohio’s first camp with recreation programs for children with disabilities. Today, children and adults with physical, developmental and sensory disabilities continue to enjoy and benefit from typical camp activities in a barrier-free environment. Camp Cheerful’s campers participate in a variety of recreational activities that encourage confidence and independence and create opportunities for lifelong friendships while having fun and improving their quality of life.
