RAMP Disability Resources and Services will offer a summer camp for youth and young adults with disabilities to grow life and leadership skills, explore future careers, connect with community organizations and gain real-world experiences.

“Camp RAMP: Building Skills for the Real World” for those aged 16 to 22 will run from 8 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. July 27 through July 30 at RAMP, 202 Market St., Rockford. There’s no cost to participate.

Attendees can tour local organizations, listen to guest speakers with disabilities, participate in hands-on projects and learn skills to prepare for adulthood and future employment opportunities.
