Summer Camps for the Disabled
We offer
unique, creatively crafted weeklong Summer Camps, designed to meet the special
needs of persons with disabilities. We also offer Retreats
tailored for our disabled guests on several weekends throughout the year.
Camp Activities
Dedicated
to providing the best possible camping experience for our guests, we help them
discover and enjoy new things within the scope of their abilities and interests.
We provide
opportunities that promote physical wellness and social interaction and build
new friendships at the same time. We enhance the quality of life for our
guests by enabling them to experience outdoor activities. We also provide
a safe haven for them to explore and experience the wonders of nature.
Camp
activities include: archery, croquette, table tennis, basketball,
horseshoes, boating, fishing, hiking, special Olympic-style games, bocce ball,
foosball, softball, volleyball, shuffle board, barbecues, water sports and
crafts.
Special Events
Every camp
session includes adaptive fun activities focusing on the individual's unique
abilities and skill sets. Taking nature hikes along forest trails,
enjoying picnics, roasting marshmallows and singing around the campfire are
longstanding favorites!
Other
special events may include: puppet shows, interactive role plays acting
out Bible stories, guest speakers, Smokey the Bear, forest rangers, Pinecrest
Lake Day, pontoon boat rides, photos sitting on big choppers belonging to
Christian Motorcycle Club members and a four-wheel drive jeep trip.
Travel Camps
We host off-site day trips for
select groups of men and women during separate weeks. These guests sleep
outside in large teepees. They wake up and start their day with a hearty
breakfast, followed by a ride in our van to that day's outing. They come
back, rejoin the group, eat dinner and enjoy the evening activities together.
Our camps
feature exciting venues such as: Yosemite Park, Historic Columbia Park,
Calaveras Big Trees, Trout Farm, California Caverns and Jamestown Train Ride.
