Mission Possible promotes the involvement of all youth. We invite youth with and without disabilities or special needs or who require special accommodations to participate in this unique summer residential camping program. 4-H membership is NOT a requirement.

The focus is on each campers’ Abilities and not their disAbilities. Participants are encouraged to recognize their individual strengths and their own limitations while participating in a safe and fun camp environment! We recognize that each camper has their own interests, motivators, strengths and areas that might need support. We strive to meet those unique and individual needs, while also trying to meet the overall goals for everyone:
- increasing skills of independence
- enhancing one’s self-esteem
- increasing one’s personal understanding and acceptance
- increasing social abilities
- widening awareness of and participation in recreational activities
- connecting with others with similar interests, needs and/or abilities. That’s Mission Possible! Check it out.
