"CHANGING LIVES THROUGH CHRIST-CENTERED EXPERIENCES"
Camp Barnabas is a Christian summer camp dedicated
to providing summer camp experiences to people with special needs, physical or
intellectual challenges, and their siblings from throughout the United States.
They uphold the values and principles taught by Jesus Christ and aim to fulfill
the Great Commission in the work they do. Because they respect the diversity of
religious beliefs and allow all in need to receive their services, all
teachings are purposed toward basic Biblical principles with no denominational
emphasis.
The mission at Barnabas is to show others the love
of Christ in every aspect of their ministry. Their ministry is not only in
changing the lives of those with special needs and chronic illnesses, but also
in changing the lives of all who come in contact with Barnabas: campers,
volunteers, parents, staff and donors. They want to show their campers that
they can live a life of ability and they were beautifully, wonderfully and
perfectly created with a purpose.
They hope that both volunteers and staff are
challenged by the growth and strengthening of their faith as they set aside
their own needs for three months while serving our campers, parents, volunteers
and fellow staff. The experiences gained from Camp Barnabas go beyond a week at
summer camp. These experiences change perspectives, redefine disability and
become life-changing. Learn more of the Camp Barnabas story.
