We also swim at the Summit on the Park.

We offer fun and exciting day programs for individuals between the ages of 5 - 26 who have been diagnosed with Cognitive Impairments (CI) and/or Physical or other Health Impairments (POHI). Participants will have the opportunity to engage in a variety of recreation activities including arts and crafts, sports, group games and field trips all centered around weekly themes.

Hand In Hand Farm offers family camps for families from all walks of life. We have a lot of experience with special-needs families, we have been providing parenting education, family skills training, and vocational training for many years. Often a place of last resort, we get results if parents are willing to put in the time and effort to change the family dynamics and help their kids develop.

Our camp utilizes horses, small farm animals and horticulture to help children develop social skills and positive peer interactions.

Camp Barnabas is a ministry in Southwest Missouri dedicated to providing a unique Christian summer camp experience to individuals with disabilities and chronic illnesses. It's a summer full of waterslides, fishing, canoeing, archery, ziplining, swimming, mini-golf, and so much more. We want our Campers to have a summer just like everyone else because, for most of the year, our Campers are on the outside.
