Camp I Am Special
Private
Camp I Am Special is an American Camp Association-accredited camp operated by Catholic Charities (Diocese of St. Augustine) for children, teens, and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities and other disabilities, running for over 40 years. Campers take part in adaptive activities such as hayrides, crafts, adaptive sports, yoga, and an accessible aquatic center, with volunteer high-school "buddies" paired 1:1 for care and companionship. The program also provides respite for families and primary caregivers.

★★★★★Terri Bailey Writes & CHATs Terri BaileyMy 26-year-old daughter with severe CP loves this place and so do we! It is a great way for her to socialize and for us to get a much-needed rest.
★Jim SandersIt is a great place for special needs children and young adults. What about our other youth? If they want the church to grow, if they want our kids part of that, they need a summer camp for them. Evenglazation! SUMMER CAMP is for the start of formation for many! Other Catholic programs are good for teens. But if you don't make input... Don't expect output! Look at other non Catholic churches.....They do.. send kids to summer camp. Hmmmm, why do they hold people in the church and have full parking lots on Sundays? Are youth groups busting at the seam? Inviting our youth... then losing them. Food for thought.
★★★★★John CamachoOur son has autism and he absolutely loves this camp. The young adults that run it are amazing and so good to the kids. They remember each child and spent so much time with them doing activities. This is so important because with special needs children there are no knocks on the door for an invite to the park. So this camp allows us to surround our beloved children with more people that love and care for them. I got one appreciate them and send them all our blessings.
★★★★★jim estaverWhat a special place. My daughter has an absolute wonderful experience there, she never wants to leave. We missed it so much last year, parents need the break, knowing that their child is safe. I hope we can get her in this year.
