Catholic Charities Corporation Administrative Offices:
7911 Detroit AvenueSpecial Needs Camp --- Our SumFun Day Camp for children with developmental disabilities serves those ages 5-21 who qualify for services through their local county board of developmental disabilities.
Camp Christopher evaluates each applicant to ensure that we have adequate staffing in place to meet their needs.
Campers must be between 5 and 21 years of age to participate in this program. Due to the program’s active schedule and the rustic facilities, participants must have basic personal care skills (independent in the restroom) and be capable of demonstrating appropriate and safe behavior, especially in public places. The grounds of the facility spread across 160 acres, and participants must be able to walk quite a bit throughout the weekend in order to stay with the group. Nursing staff is available to dispense scheduled medications but may not be on site at all times. Camp Christopher routinely provides services to more than one group of individuals at a time and the majority of those are children. Because we prioritize the health and safety of all visitors to the facility, each application will be thoroughly reviewed and camp staff may reach out for additional information about the applicant if necessary to make a sound decision during the process.
