More people than ever before are interested in attending summer camp and there is a great need for socialization not just in the summer, but throughout the entire year. This is especially true during the pandemic! While we normally hold weekend mini-camps once a month in the St. Timothy Center along with 6 weeks of camp during the summer, we started running a virtual camp program in March of 2020 and have continued to this day. Currently, we meet for free bible study one time a week on Zoom. We also have monthly virtual mini-camps available for a small fee this spring! NEW THIS SUMMER 2021: We will be hosting an in-person day camp program in July for our campers! Find more details below. The Share Foundation hosts mini-camps and summer camps consistently with the support of talented and qualified staff, supportive service-minded donors, and our wonderfully enthusiastic campers.
Here at Camp Sharing Meadows, we believe everyone should have the opportunity to attend camp, whether that’s a short weekend camp, a long week of camp, or any of our virtual camp activities! Unfortunately, for some of our other-abled friends, they may have never had this experience. That’s why we work so hard to get everyone to camp through subsidizing our costs and ensuring parents, staff, and local agencies that their loved ones are cared for when they register their camper for a camp full of adventures and memories!
Camp Sharing Meadows includes traditional camp activities online and in-person! Some of these activities include arts and crafts, bingo, dances, and campfires that provide other-abled adults with much need socialization. Other-abled campers are culturally diverse groups of men and women who further enrich the camp experience. Most significant, however, are the values discussion groups that allow the campers to tap into their most private emotions concerning issues like “forgiveness” or “trust” or “self-esteem.” A central part of every virtual or in-person camp, these sessions validate and honor the individual-affirmations important for all of us, but especially for the other-abled.
We're so excited to have your camper at Camp Sharing Meadows! Register now!
