In 1975, the need for a safe and fun camp environment for children, youth, and adults with special needs was identified and brought to the attention of the North Alabama Conference of the United Methodist Church. A team was formed, volunteers recruited and the message sent out to potential campers. The camp was a success and thus began Special Camps.

For more than 40 years, the legacy of sharing God's love and joy in a camp setting has continued because of the relationships built by the campers, volunteers, and families/guardians of campers. Special Camps is no longer an organization associated with the United Methodist Church, but rather a Christ-focused nonprofit with a vision to bring joy and enrichment to the lives of special needs individuals and their loved ones.

Today, with the support of more than 100 volunteer counselors, nurses, program organizers, and directors, we serve approximately 150 campers.

Campers at Special Camps will have a fun outdoor camp experience and learn about Christ's love while creating lasting friendships with other campers and volunteers.
