Give Camp. Give Belonging.

A week at Camp Big Heart is more than crafts and campfires; it’s friendship, belonging, and
adventure. Your gift makes that possible.

Some hearts are ready for camp… Their budgets aren’t

Camp Big Heart is one of the most affordable overnight camps for people with special needs in the Southeast. A full week of camp costs $600, which is out of reach for some. With your financial help, a camper will experience:

  • An overnight camp tailored to support unique needs
  • quality time with friends, new and old
  • safe, structured, and adaptive activities for youth and adult campers

Camp Big Heart’s “Campership Fund” helps ensure campers aren’t turned away due to financial constraints, but this fund only exists because of donors like you!

How your gift
helps

Your donation directly closes the gap between
what families can afford and what a week at
camp truly costs. It funds:

  • Scholarships so campers can attend regardless of income
  • Adaptive activities and supplies that make every experience accessible
  • Specialized staff and medical support so caregivers know their loved ones were safe and cared for.

an impact on a camper’s experience.

Sometimes giving looks like sending supplies that campers will use all week long, from craft materials and cabin essentials to
snacks and games.

If you’d prefer to donate items instead of (or in addition to) a financial gift, you can shop directly from our Amazon list. Your
purchase ships straight to camp and is put to use where it’s needed most.
