Camp Barnabas

As families gear up for summer, Camp Barnabas emerges as a beacon of hope for special needs children. But it's more than just a summer getaway. This camp is a testament to the power of community and shared dreams. A shining example of this is Jocelyn, a 14-year-old dynamo with a heart as big as the Missouri sky. Upon learning about the financial struggles of some prospective campers, she took it upon herself to organize a fundraiser, aptly named "Talent for Campers." The event, which took place in January 2017, was a rousing success, drawing support from across Neosho and beyond. Jocelyn's efforts have not only helped send more campers to Camp Barnabas, but they've also served as a reminder of the profound impact we can have when we rally behind a cause. Families who choose this camp for their kids are not just signing them up for a summer of fun and adventure. They're joining a community that values inclusivity, compassion, and the belief that every child deserves to experience the joy of summer camp. Camp Barnabas is more than just a camp. It's a living, breathing entity that thrives on the spirit of giving and the shared determination to make a difference. Whether you're a parent seeking a safe and enriching environment for your child or a teenager looking to contribute to a worthy cause, Camp Barnabas welcomes you with open arms. Remember, every summer at Camp Barnabas is a new chapter in its ongoing story of community, compassion, and change. And you, too, can be a part of this beautiful journey.
