The Stephen J. Wampler Foundation has moved Camp Wamp into a new home in Tahoe National Forest near Soda Springs.

The campsite was previously home to the Girl Scouts of Northern California. The sale of the 129 acres was completed in late July.

The foundation plans to retrofit and upgrade the property to make it suitable to serve campers with physical disabilities beginning next summer.

Founded in 2000, the Wampler Foundation provides outdoor recreation programs for children with physical disabilities, such as muscular dystrophy, cerebral palsy and spina bifida, at no cost to their families.
