Summer Camp is a series of five-day summer camp sessions for children and adults with special needs who may not be eligible to attend other camps due to the severity of their disability or medical condition. We also include activities for campers' siblings without disabilities. Camp CAMP is located in Center Point, Texas, along the Guadalupe River. A well-equipped infirmary is available for 24-hour care. Campers sleep in large, wheelchair-accessible climate controlled cabins, along with counselors. Campers experience typical summer activities, such as horseback riding, swimming, canoeing, outdoor cooking and arts and crafts. Sessions are filled on a first come, first serve basis.
