Two Ways to Experience Summer at Camino Farms

Camino Farms offers two distinct types of summer experiences: Partner Weeks and Camino-Led Camps.

Both bring the Camino mission to life through community, recreation, hospitality, and belonging, but they serve different populations and are organized differently.

Partner Weeks

Your community. Your campers. Our campus.

Best for:
Schools, nonprofits, parishes, and community organizations looking to provide a meaningful overnight experience for the people they already serve.

Partner Weeks are designed for schools, nonprofits, churches, and community organizations that want to bring the individuals they already serve to Camino Farms for an overnight camp experience.
The partner organization identifies its participants and works closely with Camino to create a week tailored to the needs, ages, and interests of its community. Camino provides the campus, lodging, meals, recreation, hospitality, and programming support to make the experience possible.
Because every partnership is different, Partner Weeks may serve children, teens, families, or other populations connected to the partner organization.
Activities can include swimming, sports and recreation, animal and farm experiences, arts and music, team-building, outdoor adventures, campfires, reflection, and plenty of time to simply enjoy being together.
Registration for Partner Weeks is handled through the partnering organization and is generally not open to the public.

Camino-Led Camps

Come to Camino. Find your community here.

Camino-Led Camps are signature programs created, staffed, and operated directly by Camino Farms.

Best for:
Primarily adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities and their families who are looking for an inclusive overnight camp experience centered on friendship, growth, independence, and belonging.serve.

While individual programs may serve different populations, Camino-Led summer programming will primarily focus on creating meaningful camp experiences for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
These programs are at the heart of Camino's commitment to building a place where adults with disabilities can experience friendship, independence, purpose, adventure, and genuine belonging.
Participants and their families register directly with Camino rather than attending through another organization. Camino oversees the entire experience, including registration, staffing, meals, lodging, activities, family communication, and program design.
Programming may include:
- Recreation, swimming, sports, and outdoor activities
- Animal and farm experiences
- Music, art, dancing, and creative expression
- Opportunities to build independent living and social skills
- Meaningful work and vocational experiences
- Friendship and community-building
- Campfires, celebrations, and classic summer camp traditions
- Opportunities for faith, reflection, and personal growth
Some Camino-Led programs may have a specific focus, such as Camino Belong, centered around recreation, friendship, and community, or Camino Works!, which combines the fun of camp with hands-on opportunities to develop vocational and life skills.
Our goal is not simply to create programming for adults with intellectual disabilities. It is to create a community where each person is known, valued, challenged, celebrated, and given the opportunity to fully participate in everything Camino has to offer.
Camino-Led Camps are generally open for individual registration, with eligibility and support needs varying by program.
