For nearly two decades IndependenceFirst has run what is believed to be the only fully-inclusive, weeklong camp in the nation, called "Adventures in Independent Living." Youth with disabilities are able to participate along with their non-disabled peers in camp activities. Campers learn about similarities and abilities, rather than differences. Campers with disabilities are, many for the first time, able to be away from families in a safe environment to try new activities and build their independence.
Transportation
Whether you arrive by land, sea or air from Tokyo, or Chicago, Greater Milwaukee is a major destination for business travelers, visitors, students and families. Once you are in the Greater Milwaukee area, there are plenty of transportation alternatives such as catching a Trolley to Miller Park baseball stadium, riding a Freeway Flyer to a lakefront festival, or renting a car to go to the resorts of Lake Geneva.
We are also the proud hometown headquarters for Midwest Airlines (formerly Midwest Express Airlines). Its unique combination of impeccable, personal service at competitive prices has brought national recognition. In 2000, readers of Conde Nast Traveler magazine rated Midwest Airlines as the #1 U.S. airline for the sixth year in a row.
