Our Mission

Camp ReCreation has been serving people with developmental disabilities since 1983.

Each year, Camp ReCreation provides a residential summer camp program and engaging year-round activities for its participants to inspire fun, friendship, social interaction and spiritual growth – all while creating valuable respite for parents and caregivers.  Camp ReCreation also strives to increase the awareness and acceptance of persons with developmental disabilities in the greater community.

Camp ReCreation is under the patronage of the Diocese of Sacramento and supported by the Knights of Columbus and many other generous individuals and organizations.

Our Impact

"Sometimes, you just want to cut loose and be yourself. Be that person without a care, who just goes for it. I like to think that Camp lets you be that person. Our campers come to Camp and they become rock stars and movie directors; Super athletes and dancing queens; Inspiring artists and the life of the party.

Watching your camper go from lighting up the stage at the talent show to winning all the prizes at the carnival, you can’t help but smile because you know everyone is having the time of their life. And you think, maybe we could all use a little more of this.

It’s not that hard really. Be a little more yourself. Have a little more fun. And brighten someone else’s day along the way."

— Alex Nelson, 20 year Camp Volunteer
