Camping Programs at SCORE
Since 2012, STRIDE has operated an 85-acre camping retreat facility, named SCORE (STRIDE Center for Outdoor Recreation and Education) in Chatham, NY. Privately owned, the use of the property is generously donated. SCORE hosts a variety of unique outdoor education programs, which include six themed sleep-away tent-camping weekends from June to September, archery, disc golf, fishing, hiking, and so much more! The camp is also available for family camping, Wounded Warrior and veteran use, and group or organization use (reservations required).
In addition to serving STRIDE youth participants, SCORE is also offered as a retreat center for groups, field trips, Wounded Warriors and private family camping. The spacious lodge offers space for trainings, seminars, weddings, and outdoor education.

Meet Our STRIDE Camp Director: Stefon DeSantis
When I was younger, I went to Double H Ranch which had a profound impact on me. As a child growing up with Spina Bifida, I spent 9 summers at Double H Ranch, and it was one of the highlights of my childhood. I got involved with STRIDE back in 2010 when I found out about the Sled Hockey program. In 2014, I found out about the Camping Program when I attended the STRIDES 4 STRIDE 5K for my first time. I signed up shortly thereafter to volunteer for the camp and quickly felt the rewarding and fulfilling experience of volunteering at SCORE. I have been able to see my camp kiddos grow into great young adults. I have also been able to volunteer with a fantastic group of people and become more and more involved with STRIDE. It has allowed me to provide the experiences I had as a child to other children, which gives me great joy and contentment. I have been the camp director of the STRIDE camping program since 2015, and it is something I talk about passionately and often to anyone who will listen. My main goal every summer is to help my campers become more independent and try new experiences!
