Circle of Friends: A Camp Where Everyone Belongs

Take a step away from the everyday and step into a community filled with love, joy, and belonging. Circle of Friends is a specially designed camp experience for individuals with intellectual or developmental disabilities (IDD), offering the perfect blend of fun, connection, and faith-filled moments.

Campers will enjoy a relaxed and welcoming pace filled with exciting activities like crafts, music, and Bible studies, all designed to create meaningful memories and friendships. Whether you’re catching up with old friends or meeting new ones, you’ll find this camp is a place where everyone is celebrated.

Each camper is welcome to bring a Camp Buddy (caregiver) at no charge to share in the adventure and assist as needed. Our camp nurse will also be on-site to ensure that everyone’s health needs are met, including administering prescribed medications.

Come discover the joy of friendship, the beauty of God’s love, and the power of community at Circle of Friends—where we’re all part of God’s family.

Caregivers can contact Storm Mountain Center at 605-343-4391 with questions.
