Summer camp is more than just fun — it’s a place to build memories, friendships, and confidence. In this episode of Discussing Disability, host Nate Wise sits down with Tricia Puryear, SOAR365’s Vice President of Human Services, to explore what makes Camp Baker such a special experience for children and adults with disabilities.

Tricia shares her own professional journey and explains how Camp Baker delivers an inclusive, accessible, and traditional camp experience — complete with swimming, campfires, horseback riding, talent shows, and more. You’ll hear about how staff are trained to meet a wide range of needs, the importance of fostering independence and joy for campers, and how the community can support this one-of-a-kind program.

Whether you’re a parent, volunteer, or advocate, this conversation will inspire you to see what’s possible when everyone has the opportunity to experience camp life.
