Camp LIGHT is a summer day camp program for individuals with medical, physical, behavioral, and other special needs, as well as at-risk youth, and is offered at no cost so they have the opportunity to participate in the program despite their financial situation. LIGHT stands for Love, Inspire, Give Hope, Teach. The mission of Camp LIGHT is to show kids with special needs and circumstances that life is only limited by their imagination, and to give them new tools and skills, along with love and support, to inspire them to become anything they can dream. Programs will help release the emotional, physical, and financial burdens caused by serious childhood illnesses, and will provide a peer network that reaches far beyond the LIGHT of a summer campfire. Camp LIGHT's programs are supported through donations, foundations, grants, and annual fundraisers like a live auction, cruise in, and Christmas Wonderland. Camp LIGHT and the events held at Creative Works Farm are run by volunteers who dedicate their time to make a positive impact in the lives of children in the community.
