Caregivers

Campers who have personal aides can have their aide attend with them if the parent and camp director determine that the camper would benefit by having an aide they are familiar with. Background checks will be completed on aides attending with campers.

Camp sessions run in June and July. Campers sign up for a 4 day week day camp session (Mon-Thurs fromo 9am-4pm). Activities campers participate in include: archery, nature exploration, horseback riding, animal therapy, swimming, fishing, arts and crafts, and more! Thanks to generous donors and sponsors, camp is offered at no cost to the camper.

Camp LIGHT is free to all campers who attend

Camp LIGHT provides healthy meals and snacks for our campers (2 snacks and a lunch). Campers with special dietary needs have the option to pack if necessary.

Creative Works Farm operates Camp LIGHT, a summer camp for children with special needs and at risk youth, located on a 160 acre farm just outside of Waynesboro, VA. Our mission is "to show kids with special needs and circumstances that life is only limited by their imagination, and to give them new tools and skills, along with love and support, to inspire them to become anything they can dream."

Camp LIGHT was established to provide services for kids with special needs and their families. Our goal is to ensure children with different medical, physical, and other obstacles can enjoy the excitement of camp, and build lifetime friendships with other children with similar backgrounds. We offer a day camp experience for children with programs designed for all types of disabilities and at risk youth, at no cost to the families attending. Our summer camp activities focus on areas that encourage our campers to be active, learn about healthy living, and empower them to learn new skills that will make a positive impact in their lives. Our summer camp outcomes have shown improved social skills, confidence, sense of belonging, learned teamwork and communication skills, and more. Program outcomes are measured by parent feedback, observed behavior improvements, and a very high return camper percentage.
