What is Wine and Art Night? It’s an evening of art, wine, refreshments, silent and online auctions.

And… the joy of supporting the opportunity for kids experiencing disability to be physically active, engage with others and have fun.

Join us!

Just Fun!

Each year BB kids look forward to summer camp. Veteran campers reconnect with old friends and coaches. Newbies get a chance to be active, play, meet new friends and try out a new activity (often bustin’ a barrier).

kinda chic to see the child not the disability

Campers range in age from kindergarten to young adult and experience an array of disabilities. They filled over 130 camp slots and were coached by thoughtful, fun volunteers committed to making camp a fun experience. We’re equally appreciative of staff who provide guidance to volunteers and attention to campers to make summer a fun experience for all.

Bustin’ Barriers Testimonials

“Bustin Barriers is a special program. Connection, compassion, inclusion and laughter abound. Supported and respected, our experience has taken us from isolation to acceptance, awkwardness to confidence. This year my child leaps from camper to junior coach. Everything is possible.”

J Perri, Parent

“My children look forward to camp every summer. Bustin Barriers provides an invaluable safe place to practice interaction and participation with peers, those experiencing disability and those who are not disabled.”

Eugenia S., Parent
