At Camp, Variety Kids are empowered to form friendships, try new things, grow in self-esteem, and explore the world around them with independence and confidence. Variety’s Adventure Camps are for ages 4 – 20, and provide an unforgettable experience for local children and teens with disabilities living in the 30 Missouri and Illinois counties Variety St. Louis serves. Each camper is paired with a counselor “buddy” to ensure their needs are met each day. Campers are split into groups based on age to enjoy activities geared more toward their interests. Activities include swimming, ice skating, fishing, playing games, making crafts, music time, visiting area attractions and much more, all under the guidance of a caring and enthusiastic staff.

WinShape Camps for Communities brings the ultimate day camp right to your neighborhood, combining fun and friendship into an action-packed week—all centered around Jesus. Campers completing grades K5-5th cultivate their God-given skills and talents in a mix of indoor and outdoor moments, physical activity and creative play, with epic adventures at camp all day and sleeping soundly back at home at night. At the end of the week, we serve up a day of fun for the whole family—complete with a yummy lunch from Chick-fil-A.

Each camp includes daily projects that incorporate all types of mediums including drawing, painting, sculpture, etc. We will also incorporate games and other activities into our day.

High School Camp is the perfect place to grow closer to God, make lifelong memories, and experience powerful worship, meaningful talks, and nonstop activities with friends.
