special needs

Ability Camp is something truly extraordinary—two weeks of summer camp that offers adults with special needs a place to grow spiritually, form lasting friendships, and experience God’s love in tangible ways. Designed to be fully inclusive, Ability Camp is a haven of acceptance, joy, and faith. Here, every camper is invited to deepen their relationship with God, experience His grace, and embrace the truth that they are beautifully made in His image.

At Ability Camp, each camper is seen as a beloved child of God, created with purpose and worth. Disabilities are not viewed as limitations but as part of the unique and intentional way God has crafted each individual. In this loving community, campers are valued, welcomed, and reminded of their belonging in the Body of Christ. Surrounded by others who share their faith, campers experience an environment of true acceptance—a place where they are treasured just as they are.

From fishing to spirit led chapel time, every Ability Camp activity is carefully adapted to ensure all campers can fully participate. These activities go beyond fun; they are spiritual experiences, too. A peaceful morning fishing at the pond becomes a time to marvel at God’s creation, while a chapel service turns into uninhibited worship. Campers are encouraged to encounter God in every part of their day, whether through prayer, Bible study, or simple moments of reflection in the beauty of nature.

At Ability Camp, adult campers are given a unique opportunity to grow in both faith and independence. Many activities are designed to allow campers to practice making decisions, assisting with daily tasks, and developing confidence in their own abilities. Through structured Bible studies, prayer times, and moments of personal reflection, campers are encouraged to trust God’s guidance in their lives. They leave camp knowing they are capable, strong, and supported by a loving God who walks with them through life’s journey.

One of the most meaningful aspects of Ability Camp is the chance to form deep friendships, rooted in a shared faith. As campers pray, worship, and share experiences together, they create bonds that can last a lifetime. These friendships offer spiritual encouragement and support, providing a sense of community that continues even after camp has ended. Many campers find lifelong mentors in their counselors, who offer guidance, compassion, and a constant reminder of God’s love.

Above all, Ability Camp is a testimony of God’s boundless love and grace. Here, every camper is reminded that they are fearfully and wonderfully made (Psalm 139:14) and that God’s love is unconditional. Through moments of worship, personal reflection, and the kindness of counselors and friends, campers experience God’s grace in real and powerful ways.

In a world that sometimes overlooks individuals with special needs, Ability Camp shines as a reminder of the Kingdom of God—a place where every person has purpose, every voice is heard, and every life is cherished. Ability Camp offers more than just a summer experience; it provides a sacred space where adults with special needs can walk in faith, grow in confidence, and know beyond a doubt that they are cherished by a loving and faithful God.

Ability Camp isn’t just a break from the routine; it’s a transformative time for campers to draw close to Christ, discover their gifts, and celebrate the truth that they are beloved members of God’s family.
