Mission

The mission of Camp Summit is to provide barrier-free outdoor experiences that promote personal growth and foster independence for children and adults with disabilities. Camp Summit began as Camp Soroptimist in 1947, a service project benefiting campers with special needs, created by Soroptimist International of Dallas. Camp Soroptimist officially transferred management of the project to Camp Summit in 1993. Motivated by the fact that our campers and their families have few, if any, options for overnight and stay-away recreational experiences that also improves their independence, confidence and social skills, Camp Summit offers our programs to develop these skills and freedoms for our campers.
