Camp Blessing Texas

Camp Blessing exists to provide help and hope to people of all abilities through Christ-centered camp experiences. We are an award-winning Christian summer camp ministry designed for children and adults with special needs (physical/developmental/intellectual disabilities) to experience a week-long residential, barrier-free camp. We surround them with love, acceptance, and fun.

We are one of the few camp ministries in the country offering all the traditional summer camp activities customized for full participation for all levels of ability. No matter what, a camper's adaptive equipment (wheelchairs, walkers, crutches, etc.), we seek to accommodate and serve them well. Camp Blessing is focused on showing the encompassing love of Christ to those who often experience exclusion, ridicule, and self-esteem-damaging treatment by peers. All our campers are treated with dignity and respect. Campers are thrilled to participate in our barrier-free gamut of activities, including: horseback riding, archery, canoeing, fishing, swimming, ropes course, zip line, crafts, variety shows, sports, water games, and more. Many of our campers return annually, calling it "the best week of their year. "

Camp Blessing utilizes a committed force of volunteers who donate time and money for the opportunity to serve. Volunteers are trained and supervised by an experienced, paid staff. This allows for a 1:1 camper-to-counselor ratio ensuring enjoyment for campers, comfort for parents, and a unique mission opportunity for volunteers. Volunteer exit surveys track a 97% satisfaction.

Testimonials

"I don't know where I'd be without Camp Blessing" - Robert (Camper)

"Camp Blessing is THE BIGGEST blessing!! I wish there was a way to adequately thank every single person involved in this initiative. I never would have thought my son would have an opportunity like this, and since camp, he is so open to trying new activities and being more independent. It gave him these skills that will serve him lifelong. Our family can never thank you all enough for this!" - Courtney (Camper Parent)

"[Our Son] grew noticeably kinder and nicer after his week of service at Camp Blessing." - Gwen (Volunteer Parent)
