A joy-filled week of fun, folks and food for adults with special needs. Spend time with friends, new and old, visiting farm animals, and practicing your archery skills. We will sing, dance, drum, swim, and fish. Enjoy making choices to join in sports & games, gardening, cooking, boating, crafts, puzzles, hayrides, therapeutic horseback riding, and campfires. Look forward to being in a welcoming community to celebrate each other at Open Mic night and the dance. Campers with a skill to share can sign up to have their own class on the schedule for “Taking Turns Teaching.” Also available: optional small group work experiences with our Kitchen and Garden Staff. Our caring and well-trained staff welcomes each camper to this joyful week of camp. Staffing for this camp is one counselor per two or three campers. Lodging is in Focus Hall.
In this week we are hoping to welcome 30 campers.

ALL campers for these sessions start on the waitlist. New this year, there will be an annual Camper Information Form for families to fill out during the registration process. This form asks general information and questions regarding your camper’s personal needs. It will ensure that we have all the information we need so we can verify our ability to keep your campers safe and provide a positive camp experience. For details on who we can safely serve, see our updated FAQ.
