The Foundation is commonly referred to as Camp Joy. The camp was previously run by the board of Christian Education Ministries of the Associate Reformed Presbyterian Church. However the ARP Church desired for the camp to be run by a separate non-profit organization. Our Mission: To enable those with special needs to experience a weeklong camp where they are loved accepted and experience the love of Christ. Our Philosophy: Each special needs camper will have the opportunity to participate in all activities and with each other regardless of the mental ability of the camper. The attitude and actions of our staff will model Christ-like traits. We will show our concern for each person taking part in Camp Joy. Each camper's unique talent will be utilized in a manner that will enable all campers and counselors to appreciate how their different gifts complement one another. Teamwork and love for one another are the most important assets in a successful camp experience.
