ADULT CAMP
Arrowhead Camp
Five Days. Familiar Faces. Fantastic Memories.
Some friendships pick up right where they left off, even when it's been a whole year!
Arrowhead Camp brings adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) together for five days of summer fun at White Memorial Camp. It's a chance to reconnect with old friends, welcome some new ones, and enjoy the traditions that make camp such a special part of summer.
Located along Council Grove Lake in the beautiful Kansas Flint Hills, Arrowhead offers a refreshing change of pace filled with outdoor recreation, music, games, creative activities, and plenty of opportunities to laugh together. Campers are encouraged to participate in ways that suit their individual interests and abilities, with thoughtfully adapted activities and a supportive camp environment.
There's something wonderful about returning to a place where people are happy to see you. And if it's your first time? There's always room for another friend.
Come for the fun. Stay for the friendships.
Program:
Five-day overnight summer camp for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD).
