Fall fun at camp 🍂
It was a "gourd-geous" weekend for the fall session at Camp Claphans!
Campers got to participate in so many fun activities, including checking out vehicles from first responders with Norman Fire Department and Cleveland County Sheriff's Office- OK, painting pumpkins, seeing amazing animals from Tiger Safari Zoological Park and enjoying an exciting visit from Air Evac Lifeteam 158 - Seminole, OK!
Thanks to these departments and organizations for visiting our campers! Thanks also to Scoops Ice Cream Truck - OKC and Andy's Frozen Custard of Norman for providing treats for the kids!

Choosing toys 👍🏻

A pitch-perfect night ⚾
A group of our employees and their families volunteered at a recent game with the Courage League Myba Moore. The Courage League is an adaptive league that gives people of all abilities the opportunity to play baseball.
Our group had so much fun assisting players during the game. And we were thrilled to see many of our outpatients and campers from Camp Claphans!
