If you are challenged by a disability and are searching for a get-away where you can experience new activities or just relax around the campfire watching a beautiful sunset, we are the place for you. You’ll be surrounded by staff and volunteers who will see to your every need. You’ll dine on nutritious home cooked meals featuring gluten free products and fresh fruits and vegetables. While we pamper and attend to your every need, your caregiver’s will have an opportunity to relax and re-charge. Afterall, everyone deserves a vacation.
We’re a little different than most camps in that once you become a camper, you stay a camper. Our minimum age requirement is 12 years and we have no upper limits. We believe wholeheartedly in inclusion and the importance of a community connecting people of all abilities and cultures. We see disability as a culture and camp as a way to celebrate it.
We offered two different programs: Base Camp and Adventure Camp with all sessions spanning 5 days/4nights. We aim to be as accommodating as possible and offer guidelines on eligibility below. Do not hesitate to contact us with any questions

Camper Fees
Due to substantial increases in program expenses (such as food, utilities, wages, liability insurance and field trip expenses) we are forced to raise Base Camp fees to $900 to $1300 depending on the camper’s level of care and Adventure Camp fees to $975.00 per session.
Deposits: A $50.00 deposit per session is required from all self-pay campers. Campers using state funds (DSHS/DDA funding) do not pay a deposit. Deposits are credited to your session fees and refunded in accordance with the terms of our ”Cancellation Policy.” Statement. If Lions Camp Horizon cancels a session, you will be fully refunded for any monies paid.
CAMPerships: For campers without access to state or tribal funding, we offer financial assistance. All CAMPership awards require a minimum contribution of $50.00 towards session fees. Awards are made on a case-by-case basis. For information, please email vpcamp@lionscamphorizon.org and request a CAMPership Application Packet.
