A Summer Camp Experience for Everyone
West Texas Camps and Retreats is dedicated to providing a unique summer camp experience for individuals facing challenges that may hinder their participation in other camp programs. As a residential Christian summer camp, we offer love, respect, acceptance, and fun to children and adults with special needs, their siblings, and family members. Our fundamental belief is that all campers, regardless of their ability level, deserve to enjoy the full spectrum of activities that a summer camp offers.
Every aspect of our camp will be meticulously designed, customized, and built to ensure campers will be able to access and participate in all activities.

Campers can show up and be treated like the stars they are while we immerse them in the love of God, providing an unforgettable summer adventure.
