About
Inclusive Community Camp (ICC) is Bozeman’s first inclusive, active, creative and playful summer experience. ICC was designed to be a very intentional summer camp experience to help fill a void in our Bozeman community by providing a diverse camp environment with half of campers being students with disabilities/support needs and half of campers being students without disabilities/support needs.
For the past five years, this summer camp has been the first of its kind in Bozeman and has provided local children with and without disabilities an active, STEAM-focused camp experience! ICC will also offer our MSU teacher candidates the experience of working with children of different abilities in a fun and experiential setting. For Summer 2025 our theme is still a work in progress, but it will be a fun, STEAM-based, exciting week! Appropriate language, shifting perspectives, and changing the culture of disability will be woven throughout the camp.
All campers will receive a welcome packet that includes a t-shirt, water bottle, drawstring bag and MSU goodies.
Our fantastic MSU MAT (Master of Arts in Teaching) teacher candidates will serve as the Inclusive Community Camp guides. The camp allows our MAT students to meet the hands-on/practicum educational needs for their programs, while providing them with the opportunity to work with children of different abilities in a fun and experiential setting. We will also have MSU faculty and staff, as well as skilled and experienced teachers and faculty members, acting as mentors.

About
In addition to the Inclusive Community Camp, MSU offers the Middle School Mentoring & Leadership Experience (MSMLE), a weeklong, activity-based program for youth entering grades 6-8. On the MSU campus, middle schoolers will work with Mentoring and Leadership Guides (secondary education graduate students in the Master of Arts in Teaching program at MSU), Inclusive Community Camp Guides (graduate students in the Master of Arts in Teaching K-8 program) and campers doing outdoor activities and workshops to strengthen their relationship, conflict resolution and leadership skills. This is an opportunity for campers to spend a week expanding their potential and have a blast doing it!
Participants will have the opportunity to practice their new leadership skills by working with younger kids participating in Inclusive Community Camp. Activities will be supported, fun, active and stimulating!
To prepare for the week-long campus experience, middle schoolers will also get to know virtually their mentoring and leadership “guide” in advance.
Summer 2025 will be the fifth in-person camp! Our theme this year is still a work in progress, but it will be a fun, STEAM-based, exciting week!
All campers will receive a welcome packet that includes a t-shirt, water bottle, drawstring
bag and MSU goodies.
