Camp Little Giant – Camp Shawnee Session I
Camp for youth ages 8-21 with physical, cognitive or developmental disabilities on July 14-19.
Camp Little Giant offers participants an eye-opening view of their own capabilities and the belief that they can increase their confidence and independence. It provides the opportunity for people with mental, physical, or cognitive disabilities to get in touch with nature in a safe yet exciting manner.
The camp is located on the shores of Little Grassy Lake near the Shawnee National Forest with access to an outdoor playground full of adventure.

Activities include:
- Fishing
- Arts and crafts
- Horseback riding
- Boating
- Sports and games
- Theater
