2010 Youth S.E.E.K. Camp
Summer Experience for Exceptional Kampers
June 14 - 19

Youth S.E.E.K. Camp is a 5 day camp for youth ages 14-21 who have mental or physical challenges. Our campers range in level of needs: some are completely self-sufficient, while others are not mobile or verbal.
Held in Bridgeport, Texas, this camp is one our campers and counselors look forward to with great anticipation every year. Campers participate in a variety of activities during the day, such as arts and crafts, music, recreation and swimming. Each camper has a “buddy,” a youth counselor with whom they are matched to provide a 1 on 1 ratio between campers and counselors. Adults oversee all cabins, are buddies to campers and assist with campers who have more intense needs. Evening activities each year range from a talent show, a dance, horseback riding with “Whispers of Hope” and a carnival.

Parents are invited to visit camp on the Thursday evening dance from 7:30-9:00 p.m. Each day concludes with a worship service and devotional time, geared towards youth with special needs. All junior and senior counselors must undergo a background and reference check, as well as an application process that includes 2 days of training. The camp is run completely by a volunteer staff.

The camp is open to persons of any faith, but is sponsored by the United Methodist Church and is a Christian based camp. Registration is limited to 40 campers and campers and counselors from past years are given preference over new applicants.
