Camp Jened was a summer camp for disabled people in the state of New York that became a springboard for the disability rights movement and independent living movement in the United States.[1][2] Many campers and counselors (known as "Jenedians")[2] became disability rights activists, such as Judith Heumann,[3] James LeBrecht,[4] and Bobbi Linn.[5]
