YOUR Summer Program is located on The Baddour Center's nearly 120 acre campus in Senatobia, Miss., which is about 35 miles south of Memphis, Tenn. Campers stay in one of the group homes, and all activities are held on-campus. Summer Program weeks are divided into either male or female because like the rest of campus, the group homes are NOT co-ed. Baddour residents act as peers and mentors throughout camper's stay.

The Baddour Center is dedicated to providing a model residential community for adults with mild and moderate intellectual disabilities in an environment that promotes maximum growth intellectually, spiritually, physically, socially, emotionally and vocationally.
