OUR CAMPERS

Shady Oaks Campers are children and adults with disabilities, ages 8 and up.

Most of our campers have been attending Shady Oaks for 5 or more years!
Some of our campers have been attending Shady Oaks Camp for over 30 years, and one camper for about 50 years!

Our campers have many different disabilities and varying needs. Some campers use wheelchairs, while others do not. Some campers have G-Tube feedings, while others might need to be fed by their 1:1 counselor.  When you apply for camp, please make sure you are as detailed as possible with your campers’ needs, so we can be sure we can meet those needs.

We offer four sessions each summer and each session is two weeks long.

Our male and female campers stay in separate dorms, and each camper has their own staff member.  Each camper has a bed and a storage locker with drawers and a place to hang clothing.  The dorms are open style, with 8 – 10 campers in each dorm.

We are now accepting applications for the 2026 summer!  Attendance at Shady Oaks camp does require an active membership. To be a member of Shady Oaks Camp, dues of $50.00 must be paid between September 1st and December 31st. After December 31st, dues are increased to $100.00. Dues must be paid in order to hold an office, serve on the Board of Directors, or to obtain camp time for your family member. The cost of sending a camper to camp depends on the number of weeks requested and the amount of fundraising done.

Deadline to reserve spot for  the summer of 2026 is May 15th.

All of the forms can be found HERE.
