We provide a week-long summer camp anually for people ages 6+ diagnosed with Spina Bifida, by focusing on a family–oriented and completely volunteer driven environment to enrich all lives of volunteers/campers by ensuring a sense of belonging, a network of friends and families, and a positive learning environment focused on independence and growth.
This year camp will be held July 3rd-July 7th, 2023 In Burton, Texas at Camp for All.

We attend camp at Camp For All in Burton, TX. Our camp uses their facilities and program staff, but we have a schedule of activities and goals for the week.
Campers can attend once they are 6 years old. We do not put an age limit on our campers, and they can attend as long as they want to.
Typically camp is during the week of July 4th. The dates for the following year usually get set in stone towards the end of the year.
We have 1 DNP (Doctorate in Nursing) who has over 15 years of experience in the ER as our medical director. We have a FNP (Family Nurse Practitioner) who has ER and clinical experience as the charge nurse. We also have anywhere from 1-3 additional RNs. They provide all medical care needed including administration of medicine, wound care, any catheterization, bowel programs, etc.
During the application process, we send out a link to the special diet forms. Once that is received, the kitchen staff at Camp For All will ensure that at each meal, accommodations are met.
It is an overnight camp. Campers arrive on Sunday and depart Friday afternoon. Volunteers arrive Saturday afternoon and leave Friday afternoon.
Absolutely! The majority of our volunteers are friends and/or family members of someone with Spina Bifida. Most of our volunteers have grown up around Camp That Love Built due to the fact of being close to someone with Spina Bifida. For those who don’t have any experience, we ensure we complete training with them prior to camp to include how to properly lift and be an asset to the camper.
Yes, our community service hours max out at 120, depending on the length of time someone is at camp.
No. Every position within our camp is a volunteer position without pay. Our leadership staff works year-round on top of family and career commitments in order to make camp happen

We are constantly in search of passionate volunteers who are willing to share their time and talents to help create a memorable experience for those affected by spina bifida. Each year, we host a summer camp for the spina bifida community where they can participate in outdoor activities, make new friends, and gain new skills.
