Reach for the Rainbow

"REACH", formerly known as Reach for the Rainbow (RFTR), was a registered charity serving children and young adults with developmental and physical disabilities in Ontario, Canada, founded in 1983 by Donna Trella.

The organization filed for bankruptcy in 2019.

The agency's integrated programs were designed to provide an opportunity for children and youth with physical and/or developmental disabilities living at home to participate in integrated summer camps and community programs.

Each summer, this non-profit organization worked with a Canadian Camp to provide the support necessary to meet the needs of disabled children from ages 6–16 to give them a camper experience. REACH worked with a variety of overnight camps since its establishment. These include: Cairn-Glen Mhor (1988), John Island Camp (1989), Pearce Williams Christian Centre (1992), Canterbury Hills Overnight Camp (1993), Camp Kitchikewana (1993), Camp Pine Crest (1993), Camp Wanakita (1994), Ryerson Camp (1997), Silver Lake Camp (1997), Cave Springs Camp (1999), Lambton Centre (2000), Camp Presqu'ile	(2001), Camp Ko-Mo-Kee (2003), Forest Cliff Camps (2005), Hidden Bay Leadership Camp (2005), RKY Camp (2005), Camp Maple Leaf (2017), Hockey Opportunity Camp (2017), Royal Botanical Gardens Discovery Camp (2017) and Camp Menesetung (2017).
