For many campers, this is where lifelong friendships begin. They meet someone who understands them, who communicates like they do, who laughs at the same jokes, or who simply makes them feel seen. These bonds continue long after they leave our 460-acre paradise—through texts, calls, photos, and memories that keep them connected until they can return again.

Camp Summit is more than a place. It’s a community that follows them home.

And when campers do return home, they take with them far more than souvenirs and stories. They bring back independence, confidence, and the pride of knowing they can do things they never imagined. Maybe it’s navigating a new routine, speaking up for themselves, or trying something that once felt scary. With every adapted activity and every encouraging counselor, campers build character traits that support their growth year-round.

But these moments of transformation rely on thoughtful, intensive care. Many of our campers require 24/7 medical support, adaptive equipment, and individualized assistance to participate fully and safely.

Your holiday donation ensures that this level of care remains accessible to all, no matter the financial or medical needs of the family. Your impact is far beyond the 1-week of camp.

Camp never ends. But it has to start with you.
