SUMMERSHINE 2012

A One Week Residential Camp for those with Mild to Moderate Developmental Delays

Lutheridge has provided a quality camping experience for these special campers for 40 years! We offer three one-week sessions of Christian Residential Camp in the beauty of the Blue Ridge mountains, near Asheville, NC. Our focus is on building faith while having fun! Campers are challenged to make new friends and experience new adventures. Campers will be grouped in cabins by age as much as possible. BOTH PROGRAMS are designed for campers who are independent in personal hygiene (no diapers), non-aggressive and generally compliant. Living space is VERY communal, and group participation is stressed, so campers needing lots of personal space or alone time would not enjoy this program. See registration information for early registration discounts.
