Challenge Summer Camp
Summer Camp that Brings the Fun!
Each summer, we are excited to develop very special camps for youth and adults with intellectual disabilities. We have camps that are fast-paced and challenge campers to try new things. We have camps that are slower, encouraging campers to connect with each other while enjoying camp activities. All of the camps are designed to engage campers at their level and ability.
Camper Requirements
Innabah staff and facilities are equipped to help campers enjoy activities at an appropriate pace and difficulty level. However, all campers need to be ambulatory, toilet capable (independent in all aspects of elimination) and able to shower and care for personal needs independently.

Why We Do Tiered Pricing
We believe in the impact that camping can have on people, especially when it comes to building memories and exploring personal faith. We want people to be able to experience those benefits, regardless of their financial ability. So, we have created a tiered system that uses donations and ministry funds to subsidize some of the costs of camping for those who need it.
Tier 1 : Tier 1 supports campers from all backgrounds to enjoy camp. Tier I is supported by donations and ministry partners.
Tier 2 : Tier 2 allows you to pay a little more towards the true cost of camp, its ministry, and its facility.
Tier 3 : Tier 3 is the true cost of camp, including program costs, maintaining our facility, and staffing.
“Challenge camp has been great for our son. He has developed very good independent skills; sees lifelong friends; and feels valued.”
Living That Camp Life
Summer Challenge Camp gives campers a chance to get out in nature and enjoy the fun activities of camp. Our property and facilities offer a wide variety of activities to match campers’ abilities. From arts and crafts to exploring nature, archery to canoeing, completing puzzles to chowing down on some delicious food: we encourage campers to live that camp life by participating in as many activities as they can before their time with us is done!
