disABLED Adults Social Acitivities Foundation (DASA) is a Non-Profit 501(c) (3) corporation established in July of 2002. DASA was formed by two former counselors at a local week long summer camp program. Together they have close to 30 years of experience and wanted to start something new for adults with diabilities who were no longer eligible to attend many camps and activities with other organizations due to age. What started out as a weekend reunion of former campers at YMCA Camp Ockanickon in Medford, NJ, turned into an annual retreat of 30 or more people. Other activities also include meeting up at local events such as minor league baseball games, the Philadelphia Zoo, and the Philadelphia Art Museum.
To help address and meet the social needs of disabled adults by providing a common meeting place and arranging social events where the individual can be given an opportunity to seek out social interactions with their peers.
DASA's vision is to become the foundation where every adult with a physical disability throughout Pennsylvania , New Jersey, and Delaware can turn to find resources, network and seek out and participate in social activities with their peers.
