Every year since 1985, Ability First Sports Camps has provided youth with physical disabilities the opportunity to go to a summer sports camp.

It is director Eric Snedeker's belief that kids with physical disabilities often get lumped into camps that are more designed for kids with developmental disabilities rather than just physical disabilities, and he wanted to change that.
