About 15% of the world's population can be considered all ability. There are more than 5 million athletes who participate in Special Olympics' events around the world.
While so many see professional athletes as a pinnacle of success, God shows us that every individual no matter their ability is of great value and made in His image. We want to serve this community with the love of Christ and provide opportunities to play sports at their ability level. Camp will not only feature sports but also a spiritual component around FCA's camp theme "EVERY"... because every camper matters in the eyes of God!
