Looking for Adventure?
We believe that every one of our guests is capable of learning new skills, growing in confidence, and enjoying meaningful new experiences. This program is intentionally designed for our higher-functioning guests who are seeking a greater level of challenge, independence, and adventure than our larger Special Support program provides.
With a smaller group size, this program allows our staff to thoughtfully tailor each week to the unique abilities, interests, and goals of the campers attending. This flexible approach creates an encouraging environment where campers are supported while also being challenged to try new things and step outside their comfort zones.
Throughout the week, campers will have the opportunity to sleep outdoors in tents, learn outdoor cooking skills, hike scenic trails, canoe, and bike—fully immersing themselves in God’s beautiful creation. These hands-on experiences are designed to build independence, resilience, and a sense of accomplishment, all while fostering strong friendships within the group.
Our dedicated team is committed to making this a positive, empowering, and unforgettable experience—truly an adventure of a lifetime. This program fills up every year, so we encourage you to register early to secure a spot.
