WYFTC
WYFTC understands the unique challenges of caring for a child with special needs and we desire to support you as your child grows in Christ.
Our Special Needs Camp gives kids with developmental disabilities, 5 years old and up, opportunity to experience camp. This 3-day camp is filled with fun activities, worship, Bible teaching and the chance to build relationships with coaches and peers.
Our desire is to focus on the overall care of a child, which includes physically uplifting them as well.
Fine motor activities are ones with small movements of the smaller muscles, such as the fingers. Examples of a fine motor activities are picking up objects, drawing, etc.
Fine motor activities help a child with special needs to develop skills that assist them in being independent such as:
These skills are important in the home, if a child attends school and for the future of the child.
Gross motor activities are ones with big movements of the body that use the bigger muscles, such as the arms, legs and torso. Examples of gross motor activities are kicking a ball, dancing, etc.
Gross motor activities are important because they help develop strength in the child’s body and increase the range of movement for those larger muscles. These activities are beneficial for children with special needs and disabilities because movement of the body assists in keeping a body healthy and flexible.
If a child has a physical disability, movement of the larger muscles through gross motor activities can help a child gain enough strength to learn how to move independently and sometimes even walk.
Stand with Children with Disabilities:
At Camp Wendo, every year in the months of May to August, we open our hearts and facilities to children living with disabilities—children who are often sidelined by societal barriers and limited opportunities. Through our Special Needs Camp held in partnership with local schools and churches, we create a space where developmental disabilities are met with acceptance, love, and encouragement.
Why This Matters
Over hundreds of children have experienced the joy of outdoor adventure, deepened their social connections, and growth in confidence.
These children benefit not just physically but emotionally and spiritually as Camp fosters deep conversations, personal reflection, and faith formation.
Our facilitators, many on their own time, serve with unwavering commitment during Special Needs Camp, providing personalized guidance and care.
While our Special Needs Camp has touched many lives, the need far exceeds our current capacity.
We aspire to:
