Improving the Lives of Those We Serve
Founded in 1933 and holding its first summer session in 1934, Bay Cliff Health Camp is a therapy and wellness center serving the needs of individuals living with disabilities. Bay Cliff provides multiple programs throughout the year and hosts several events for organizations aligned with our commitment to promoting health, happiness, and independence for people of all ages.

Responsible Stewards of the Gifts We Receive
From the very beginning, Bay Cliff has operated almost exclusively on the generosity of others. That’s why we never take anything for granted. From a single napkin to the largest building, we are grateful for the kindness of others.
Through fundraising efforts like our Campership Appeal, we are able to accept most children at little-to-no cost for their families, and offer all families significant financial aid.

What Bay Cliff Means to Me
My name is Seth. I am eighteen years old. I was born with Spina Bifida and I’d like to use this opportunity to share some thoughts of mine about Bay Cliff Health Camp.
Alumni
Every time I cross the bridge, I feel the Bay Cliff spirit that has been here since the beginning in 1934, and is still here!
Building Bridges
I believe for children today it is so important to get an education. It’s even more important for children with disabilities.
