DARE TO CARE

Over 50 years of faith, friendship, and summer camp for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

Celebrating Over 50 Years

CAMP RECREATION

Founded in 1975, Camp ReCreation is a Christian summer camp for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Camp ReCreation aims to pair young adult counselors with campers who have special needs on a one-to-one basis. As they participate in each day’s activities, this pairing builds bridges of understanding and friendship. Camp ReCreation promotes respect, community involvement, and volunteerism.

This life-changing experience takes place at the Richardton-Taylor Public School in Richardton, North Dakota. Camp activities include, but are not limited to, group activities like crafts, music, games, and faith formation, as well as special events such as bowling, swimming, a dance, carnival, picnics, and live entertainment.
