Caregivers

We accommodate all of the above for our family camps. We are happy to discuss special arrangements, volunteer opportunities, or additional caregiver needs for summer and weekend camps.

Summer Camp sessions are a week long and run from Sunday afternoon to Friday morning. We have 40 camper spots per session for Summer 2026. We offer a general camp program with daily themes worked into cabin decorating contests, award ceremony night and special events throughout the week.

Weekend Respite Camp sessions are a Friday-Sunday snap-shot of Summer Camp. We have 10 spots per session that are held during the non-summer months.

Financial Assistance Available

We do have capacity to offer partial camperships if there is a financial need.

Camp offers well-balanced meals with some al a carte options. Campers will also have access to afternoon snacks daily. We do our best to accommodate special diets and requests but in some cases campers may need to bring special food to camp to accommodate their needs.

Get ready for the best experience of your year campers! Ranch Camp serves campers who are 13+ years old and have a range of cognitive disabilities. Campers will enjoy staying in air-conditioned cabins with trained college-aged counselors on a working ranch. We offer swimming, fishing, kayaking, archery, arts and crafts, drama, nature activities, sports and games, geocaching, outdoor cooking, and animal care with horses and chickens. Evenings at camp offer fun camp events. The talent show, signing around the campfire roasting marshmallows, cookout over the fire and our banquet with camp dance are a few favorites.

Ranch Camp is for campers who enjoy group activities, being outdoors and the hustle and bustle of camp life. Campers who are disturbed by loud noise, crowds of people and disruptions in routine may not enjoy Ranch Camp. To meet the needs of all Campers, we are assembling a crew of the finest, most qualified camp counselors, making sure that everyone has a fun and enjoyable camp experience.
