Our respite camps (
offered September through May) provide a Christian environment and programs that offer opportunities for significant growth in areas of self-esteem, independence, friendship skills, social comfort, peer relationships, adventure and exploration.
Respite at “camp” provides a broad range of opportunities to explore creation, make new friends, swim and go into the local community. The day is loosely scheduled with times of rest, activity, chapel and an occasional field trip. The pace is easy, the activities stimulating and the food excellent! A well-trained staff works with our nursing staff to be sure all guests receive first-rate care.
Parents and caregivers may worry about their loved one’s ability to cope away from home and about leaving his or her care with camp staff. Some find it difficult to admit they need a break from the stresses of caring for their loved one 24/7. But this “time off” can help caregivers recharge and strengthen other important relationships. Both parties come together again with new perspectives and new things to share with each other.
