Two nurses handle medications and a doctor is on-call. The camp ratio is a counselor for every two campers. Camp Summit offers swimming, horseback riding, wilderness and nature study, arts and crafts, fishing, and a ropes course that will challenge campers and build their self-confidence. All activities are adapted to the individual camper's ability. Camp Summit places an emphasis on social skills.
All activities occur as a group.
Bonfires and evening dances allow campers to practice their social skills while having fun. Summer programming is divided into ten one-week age and disability appropriate camp sessions. Respite services are also available on weekends during the fall. A sliding fee is available to residents who live in the Dallas United Way service area. Applications for Camp Summit will be available in February.
