Empower – Believe – Achieve
Your gift helps Central Texas children with developmental disabilities access safe, therapist-supported camp experiences that build confidence, connection, and independence.
Every amount is tied to something specific, from a day of activities to a full week of camp for a child who otherwise couldn't attend.
Monthly donors help us plan ahead, subsidize camper costs, and say yes to more families, especially those who can't afford a full-fee week.
Families of children with developmental disabilities often face limited options. Traditional camps aren't equipped to meet their needs, therapy feels clinical, and safe inclusive experiences are rare.
Sam's Adventure Camp exists to close that gap, with licensed therapists integrated into every adventure, across Central Texas and Galveston.
A welcoming environment where kids move at their own pace, form friendships, and feel genuinely accepted.
Licensed therapists embed real therapeutic guidance into everyday play, school-readiness, and social moments.
Parents get a week of rest knowing their child is supported by credentialed professionals in a setting built for them.
"After camp, my child was more confident and willing to engage socially. The change carried back into school and at home, and into how our whole family feels about what's possible." Parent of 2025 Central Texas camper, Austin area
"This was the first place where my child truly felt like they belonged. As a parent, that means everything. It's the first time I've dropped him off somewhere and not held my breath." Parent of 2025 Galveston camper
