The ages of our V.I.P. campers typically ranges from 15 to 70 years old. The majority of our campers are adults.

Our V.I.P. program is for our special campers with disabilities. Campers who have ever been enrolled in a special needs program in school are eligible to apply. The specific needs of each V.I.P. camper will be attended to by their "buddy" (1-to-1 staff/camper ratio for most campers). Medical needs will be met by the onsite V.I.P. camp nurses. The fun is unending with amazing worship and teaching, cool crafts, swimming at the beach, boat rides and much more.

Submission of the application does NOT guarantee acceptance into the program. V.I.P. Camp operates with a volunteer staff. These are not professional caregivers but rather caring individuals with a heart for serving our campers. Abilities and facilities have their limitations, and we want to ensure we can give each V.I.P. camper accepted into the program a great camp experience. Therefore, the deans and camp management reserve the right to deny any applicant when they believe the volunteers are unable to accommodate an applicant’s needs after reviewing the application. We will let applicants know whether or not you are accepted into the program.

 

Due to the high ratio of staff to campers, enrollment is limited to 40 campers. This camp tends to fill up early, so we recommend registering as early as possible to secure a spot. Once all spots are filled, any further applicants will be placed on a waiting list.
