Campers 

The essence of who we are is expressed in our campers. A young boy who is the only person in his school in a wheelchair spends a week racing through camp with 129 other people in their "four-wheelers."

A teenage girl with cystic fibrosis hangs out with other girls who know what it means to live your life more in the hospital than out. The brother of a boy with cerebral palsy sits by a campfire and listens as others voice his everyday hopes and fears because they, too, have a sibling with special needs.

To allow these very special people a week in a world that says yes to their abilities, to offer their siblings a place to relate, to give their parents a break from the everyday world of the challenges of disability and disease....this is what takes place at Camp Barnabas.

For a glimpse of what this looks like, watch one of our 2011 daily summer videos below:
