loving and serving adults with developmental disabilites & special needs

Our well-trained staff is dedicated to providing each individual with one of the best weeks of their year. From ages 13-96, we aim to give each camper a week they'll never forget at a camp that feels like home.

Campers sleep in cabins or dormitories and are invited to join us for camp activities such as archery, bocce ball, arts & crafts, music & Bible, mini golf, group games, and chapel. Our facility sits on a beautiful clear lake, providing the opportunity for optional waterfront activities including wading, swimming, and boating.

Each week we also provide special programs and activities including: talent show, picnics, movie night, water games, hayrides, dance parties, musical guests, and theme night.

Each day, campers are invited to sing & praise God and learn more about Him through evening chapel and music & Bible. Bible lessons are taught by caring teachers who desire that every person comes to know God and His love for them.

Each week campers receive a camp T-shirt and photo to help them remember their time at camp.
