We have a few spots left at Camp Summit for children and teens with special needs!
Camp Summit is a sleepaway camp for individuals with disabilities. We are located in Paradise, Texas, just northwest of the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex on 460 acres of land. We are accredited by the American Camp Association and licensed as a Youth Camp in the State of Texas.
A Day at Camp Summit
Campers awake after a good night sleep in their air conditioned cabins to head to the lodge for a well-balanced breakfast. After flag raising, they head to activity rotations with their cabin group. Activities include horseback riding, swimming, arts & crafts, nature studies, kaleidoscope and sports & games. After eating a good lunch in the lodge, campers head to their cabins to get out the heat and take a rest, napping if needed. Campers then proceed to their third and fourth activities for the day. After eating a hearty dinner and lowering the flag, campers participate in evening activities, which range from talent shows, water night, theme night, cook out, special events and a Friday night dance. Once the evening activity is finished, campers head to their cabins to shower and get ready for bed and fall asleep dreaming ahead to the next day.
