Camp Tiger is a four-day camp organized and run by medical students for mentally and/or physically disabled children between the ages of 5 and 12. The camp is open to all qualified children on a first-come, first-served basis, and is ENTIRELY FREE OF CHARGE. After almost a year of planning and preliminary work, the first Camp Tiger here at LSU School of Medicine-Shreveport took place in June of 2000, using as a model a similar camp format begun in 1985 at LSU School of Medicine in New Orleans. Camp Tiger, from the beginning, has been planned, organized and staffed solely by volunteers from the medical school classes.

TARC is committed to securing for people with mental retardation and other developmental disabilities the opportunity to enjoy a meaningful life.

The Mission of The Arc of Caddo-Bossier is to provide opportunities for children and adults with disabilities to realize their full potential, to fulfill their gifts and talents, and to become self-directed and contributing citizens.
