"Providing a residential camping experience for people with disabilities for over 60 years
Camp Summit was created in 1993 to assume management of the residential camping program for people with disabilities, established by Soroptimist International of Dallas in 1947. Since 1993, we have seen a 50% increase in the number of campers.
The mission of Camp Summit is to provide barrier-free outdoor experiences that promote personal growth and foster independence for children and adults with disabilities. Our campers range in age from six to adulthood and may be developmentally delayed, physically challenged, dual sensory impaired (deaf and blind) or have multiple disabilities.
Our programming consists of ten one-week summer camping sessions each year from May through August and weekend sessions in the fall and spring. Agencies and organizations can book special programs year-round through our A.C.O.R.N. (Agency Cooperative Outdoor Recreational Network) program."
poor kids…happy sunday to all those in the US

What a Wonderful Cause
There is a more deserving camp in Texas called Camp John Marc.
www.campjohnmarc.org
It serves many of the same children and served as a model for this camp.

They do all the same things with a better attitude. I went to both as a child!
I hope people can give despite the tough economy right now.
aw nice cause! so many families have handicapped kids and i think people should be more thankful if they dont
Thats very special, good job Perez.
I was so surprised when i came across this article. Camp Summit is such a wonderful place and it is so important to my family. They are actually relocating the camp because of development in the area they are in now. They are raising money to help build the new camp so please donate to this great organization. Thanks for featuring them Perez.
Hey there is the same type of camp but in NJ, i worked at it over this summer it is called Elks Camp Moore
. It is an amazing camp.
If only more things could be done for disabled children not only in the U.S. but all over the World. I fully support this cause!
Thank you Perez for bringing such an important organization to the minds and hearts of people. Little Ricky says Hi! (the little boy in the pic)
