CAMP SCHEDULE(click here)


​Special Needs Campout is an opportunity for people with special needs to safely enjoy the great outdoors, make new friends, learn about God’s love, and try out many fun activities in an atmosphere fitted to their needs, desires, and abilities.
This summer’s Special Needs Camp invites the whole family to attend. 
 Housing - Options provided include the cabins, tepee and wagons. Cabins sleep 4-7 people with a lockable door, tepee sleeps 10 and wagons 8. All are a short walk to the bathhouses which have private toilets, sink and shower. Do you have your own RV? Feel free to drive it out for the event! Parking is available near the bathhouses.

Camper Companions – this year, each Special Needs Camper will have an assigned Companion for
ALL daytime activities. As soon as campers wake up, their companion will keep them moving from
activity to activity, from dawn til dusk, when families can reunite for the night’s rest. NOTE: If you
have a tutor for your camper, they are welcome to attend and be your Camper’s Companion. Other
housing can be provided for them as well.

Family can’t come? We may have a Camper Companion for your camper. Staff is limited! Call us for
availability.

Activities – Family members are invited to relax while their camper experiences all the usual
activities of Cowboy’s Rest. Families can do ALL the activities as well, or get some well-needed rest.
Besides Worship and the Word time, workshops will be provided by speakers Randy & Nicole
McCaskill for Parents of Special Needs kids, and Siblings of Special Needs kids.
