We hope to also offer two optional live open discussions for parents. We will also have Morning Coffee time and Evening Chill time.
SNP is designed for families with children with disabilities of ANY age to spend time together in an Orthodox Family Environment. The campers are introduced to camp life at All Saints Camp and the parents are given the opportunity to meet fellow Orthodox parents who are tackling the same challenges in today’s world. We hope that SNP provides families with a welcoming environment to get away together and enjoy time in God's creation.
Sensory friendly Daily prayer services, modified learning church school lessons, family workshops and discussions, family sports, crafts, singing, dancing, bon fires, hayrides, scavenger hunts, and swimming, just to mention a few of the activities.
Each family will be assigned a St. Nick's Angel. Your angel will become a part of your family for the duration of the program, provide aid in any way needed.
Because of the camp's rustic environement and natural setting individuals who transport themselves with the assistance of wheelchairs, crutches or walkers may need consultation for participation in the full four-day program. If the full four-day program is not an option, we are pleased to offer one-day programming. Please contact us if you are considering the one day program during which movement about the camp is more limited and accessible to those with physical challenges.
Please feel free to contact our Executive Staff with questions or concerns.
Once an application is recieved one of our executive or medical staff will contact you to conduct an intake assessment to ensure we can accomodate the needs of your family to the best of our ability.
Families may wish to discuss the possibility of also attending one of our other camping programs Diocesan Church School Camp or Teenage Conference. Please contact us about these possibilities.
