For more than 40 years, Camp Loyaltown has helped campers discover independence while experiencing the joys of friendship, fun and personal achievement free from challenges they face daily. Camp Loyaltown is a program of Citizens Options Unlimited, a leading provider of services for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
