In the summer of 2020, the Crip Camp Impact Campaign hosted its flagship program, Crip Camp: The Official Virtual Experience! In these unprecedented times, there is no one better to think outside of the box and deliver community building right to your home. We invited all grassroots activists and advocates to join us for a virtual camp experience featuring trailblazing speakers from the disability community. All were welcome, activism experience was not a requirement to participate.
