Mission Statement

Camp John Marc exists to improve the quality of life of Texas-area children with chronic illnesses or major physical disabilities, while providing necessary daily medical treatment.

Within an atmosphere of fun, our goal is to enhance the self esteem of such special children by providing a common bond through organized activities, cultivating in each individual the attitude "I can do it."

Philosophy

Special Camps for Special Kids is a united group of individuals, organizations, and camps which support and seek to improve camping programs for children with chronic illnesses, major physical disabilities and their siblings.

Special Camps for Special Kids established Camp John Marc, an organized residential camp, in 1987 to provide for these children valuable life experiences in a natural outdoor setting.

The essence of this camp program is: nurturing health-impaired children's positive self-image, providing peer interaction, allowing a chance for adventure and exploration in the great out-of-doors. Hopefully this will lead to an increased capacity to cope with their illness or disability.

Camp John Marc utilizes community and medical volunteers to provide program support and quality medical care and treatment in the camp setting.

The governing board of Camp John Marc believes in the campers' right to discovery and adventure in nature's world, and in their chance to see, touch, play, and feel better.
