Camp Barnabas is a great ministry for kids with disabilities and their families. However, I am a…read morepretty independent young adult with a mild physical disability who was looking for exciting accessible adventures and Christians with similar disabilities to relate to, but it's mostly a weeklong respite ministry for children and those with severe disabilities. I signed up for the Adventurers week thinking that it would be adults with physical disabilities, or if there were people at the camp not my mental age, they would not be in my cabin. Don't get me wrong, they were all sweet people in my cabin but Camp Barnabas Adventurers week felt not as promised. I was unable to even do all the activities because of the challenges of others in my cabin (even some with severe autistic symptoms.) At the very least, Camp Barnabas told me they are going to work on finding ways to make sure cabins will get to do all the planned activities in the future but it was still a very disappointing week for me. I was also treated like a child, not allowed to walk to the bathroom by myself, and asked about how much I ate, drank, slept and even my bowel movements each day. I don't want to knock this camp for everyone because it is a beautiful campus with many activities, and I know others have had very positive experiences. They will be sure to keep your special needs child safe. Still, there are many adults in the disability community like myself who are used to having a higher degree of independence at home and the point of this review is to warn that the camp was not designed for us. The waterpark was cool, and I'm sure everyone there meant well, but due to my negative experience, 2 out of 5 stars.

I was already really familiar with CB from my last job, and when I found out they took volunteers, a group of us jumped at the chance. Brief overview: summer camp adapted for kids and adults with disabilities--mental and physical. Seems a simple enough concept...but CB takes it to another level. Horseback riding, canoes, gardens, ropes courses, ziplines, a great pool...all modified to work with wheelchairs or mobility issues (like pvc wheelchairs that can go into the water!) We volunteered to be 'party people', meaning that we helped decorate, participate, and clean up after their Sunday night camper party--which was a superhero theme, btw. So cute seeing everyone in their batman t shirts or face paint. I could ramble about how great this place is...but you seriously need to experience it for yourself. Everyone smiles and has an amazing down to earth attitude (even though they are dealing with some heartbreaking situations). The grounds are beautiful, but the heart and soul of Camp Barnabas alone is worth the drive.

She was able to do a lot of fun activities but said the counselors were very strict. She was late to a clinic was made to wash windows. She reported there's also 'discipline stairs' but luckily she wasn't punished with those but other kids were. She has a pretty intense schedule during the school year so our purpose in sending her is to have time to just be a kid away from stress and have fun but that isn't the case at Kanakuk. I was shocked when picking her up she said she absolutely did not want to ever go back. She's not like that at all so I know it was really bad.

We are SO happy here!…read more Both of my boys attend here, one in the infant/toddler program and one in the Pre-K. We have been so thrilled with the quality of care our boys receive. They love being dropped off and I love that I get updates all day on their routines and learning via the ap. The transparency is wonderful for peace of mind. My children are learning so much and thriving. They are loved on and cared for and happy! I would (and do) recommend this school to anyone looking. I also love that with my older sons food allergies they are so aware (everyone from kitchen to directors to floating help) that I never have to worry - they treat him as if he is their own and make all accommodations. Being away from them is hard enough so knowing that they are safe, healthy, happy and enjoying their day is so wonderful!

I put a deposit down nearly a year ago following voluntary assurance from the team that it would be no problem to get our child in before my wife was planning to go back to work.
