Joyful Hearts Summer Camp is for individuals with developmental disabilities, providing a quality 5 night summer camp experience in a safe, Christian environment.
Campers take part in the usual summer camp activities, such as swimming, canoeing, archery, games, arts & crafts, worship, Bible studies, campfire, faith building activities, and many more, but each activity is modified based on the camper’s needs. There are also special activities each day including a Wagon Ride, Bingo, Dance (Bring a fun outfit for the dance!) and Talent Show, all of which help make this a truly unique and memorable experience!
Our staff and volunteers are trained in working with campers with a variety of disabilities and committed to ensuring each camper receives personal guidance and assistance as needed. Our camper to staff/volunteer ration is two-to-one, or in some cases one-to one, ensuring each camper has the best possible camp experience.
