Camp Via West is a 13-acre residential camp serving children and adults with disabilities. It provides recreation and social experiences to individuals whose disabilities and medical needs potentially exclude them from other camps, as well as vital respite for caregivers. The County and the City of San Jose provide scholarships to families of Via West attendees who lack the ability to pay.
In 2023, at Supervisor Simitian’s urging, the County supported upgrades at Camp Via West, including re-turfing the outdoors sports field, new ADA-compliant bathrooms, and additional equipment and storage to provide a more inclusive and accessible camp experience.
