Northville’s Living and Learning Enrichment Center announced its lineup of summer camps, which are specifically designed for teens and young adults with disabilities.
Living and Learning Enrichment camps will provide a rich blend of learning, fun, and personal development in a supportive and engaging environment.
Located on the nonprofit organization’s scenic 12-acre property at 801 Griswold St. in Northville, the Living and Learning Enrichment Center offers a secure and welcoming setting for participants to explore interests, cultivate social and job skills, and build lifelong friendships.
“Our summer camps are more than just a place to have fun,” said Morgan Horning, Living and Learning Enrichment Center camp coordinator. “They’re a safe space where teens and young adults with disabilities can discover new passions, build confidence, and form lasting friendships in a supportive and inclusive environment.”
The 2025 summer camps will run from June 23 through August 14, either on a Monday-Thursday or Monday-Friday schedule depending on the week. Participants can choose from two specialized programs:
Camp Lotus
$525 (Monday-Thursday: Week 1, Week 2, Week 4, Week 6, Week 8)
