In Greek, Charis means grace and acceptance…
in today’s world, people need more of both.

Special Needs Camp for Children, Teens, Young Adults, and Families.

During the summer, Charis Hills is a Christian Therapeutic Summer Camp that offers kids, ages 7 to 18, with learning and social differences - those with ADD, ADHD, high-functioning Autism, and Asperger's - an opportunity to come to a place of grace and acceptance. We provide a positive camp experience while sharing the good news about Jesus Christ. During the camp experience, we focus on learning about Christ, improving social skills, boosting self-esteem and confidence, and helping kids understand that their differences are neither uncommon nor debilitating. We play with purpose: we give kids access to traditional camp activities, combine recreation with learning, and help kids find greater success and fun in daily life. After summer, Charis Hills also hosts family camps and Young Adult Programming.

We also host all sorts of venue rentals, church groups, school groups, etc. Our mission is to create a welcoming and supportive environment where everyone can experience Christ’s love and grace. By choosing Charis Hills as an event venue rental, you also support our greater mission to empower neurodiverse individuals and their families.

Whether you are looking for a faith-based summer camp or a beautiful setting for your event, we’ve got you covered!
