History: Founded in 1927, The League is committed to annually offering more than 2,000 individuals with multiple, physical, cognitive and neurological disabilities the opportunities to gain independence through a comprehensive continuum of vocational, rehabilitative, educational, medical, wellness and social services in the central Maryland area.
Since that time, The League has continued its innovative programming, such as Camp Greentop, serving over 400 campers annually; League Industries, which provides vocational training to people with disabilities; and Vocational Rehabilitation Services, which allows hundreds of individuals to find employment in the community. Camp Greentop is located on 200 beautiful acres in the Catoctin Mountain National Park, six miles west of Thurmont, Maryland. Camp Greentop is run by the Department of Camping and Therapeutic Recreation at The League for People With Disabilities in Baltimore, Maryland with the cooperation of the National Park Service.
Vision: The League is a leader among rehabilitative service providers, offering a continuum of quality services to meet the needs of persons with disabilities directly, and through effective partnerships with community organizations.
" A collaborative, consumer-driven service model integrates medical day care, wellness, camping and therapeutic recreation, respite and vocational services.
" Up to date facilities, state of the art techniques and methods, on-going training, support and competitive opportunities for staff insures that the quality of The League services is maintained.
" Outcome and customer satisfaction measurements continually guide The League in the improvement, modification and creation of effective and efficient services.
" Greater name recognition and regional visibility make The League a more effective advocate and a leader within the disabilities community.
" Enthusiastic, informed and proud staff, board members, donors and volunteers reinforce the positive image of The League in the community.
