Welcome to Camp Kamassa

Camp Kamassa is set on 426 acres in Crystal Springs, Mississippi and has been designed and is being built to accommodate the needs of and cultivate belonging for campers who live with and face various illnesses and challenges. We plan to partner with different organizations and have programming held at Camp Kamassa year-round to serve these needs. Some of these diagnoses include asthma, spina bifida, cancer, HIV, muscular dystrophy, diabetes, brain injuries, hemophilia, Tourette syndrome, autism, transplant recipients, arthritis, visual and hearing impairments, developmental disabilities, sickle cell disease, Celiac disease, Crohn's and colitis, just to name a few.

We are well underway with construction. Our lake, 8-duplex cabins, 6-family cabins, open-air recreation pavilion, multi-purpose activity building, pool, chapel, and maintenance barn are all in varying stages of completion. Next up is our cafeteria and infirmary building, recreation field, and star-gazing/campfire site with lots of exciting things to follow!

INTENTIONALITY:

Though on the outside it may look like traditional camping with swimming, canoeing, field games, and arts and crafts, every aspect of this campus is being planned and constructed to meet the needs of guests living with special needs, disabilities, and medical conditions. The facility will be barrier-free with flat, paved surfaces (many of them covered), wide doorways, and space to maneuver and enjoy the many different activities and spaces. All activities are being selected so that all can participate and have a place to enjoy. View our progress.
