About the camp:

Camp Barnabas exists to offer childhood experiences to kids who have been robbed of them by disease or disability. These kids need to shift their focus away from sterile medical environments and the language of their illness to focus anew on activities that build their courage and expand their belief in themselves.

Many of the children with special needs endure unthinkable pain and isolating treatment for illnesses such as cancer, hemophilia, spina bifida, muscular dystrophy, cystic fibrosis, cerebal palsy and AIDS. Their need for acceptance is overwhelming!

Each summer, Camp Barnabas provides encouragement for literally hundreds of campers, empowering them to live more fully through faith. This spiritual gift of encouragement, the hallmark of Barnabas, one of the least known of Christ’s latter disciples, helps campers face and challenge their disability or illness with courage.

Thank you Springfield for your generosity. With the combined sales of the "Barnabas Bears" and our Watch Battery Donations we were able to hand over a check for $50,000.00 to Camp Barnabas on August 10th 2007!

How We Can Help:
Justice Jewelers charges a $10 donation to Camp Barnabas for changing watch batteries. 100% of this money is collected and donated to help the children at Camp Barnabas through advancements in living quarters and activity centers.

We initiated a very special fund raiser in 2006 in hopes of rasing $30,000 to be donated to the Camp by selling our own creation... Barnabas Bears. These cute cuddly little bears have a red velvet pouch clasped in their paws to hold other special gifts for her and sell for $15.99 each. Stop by today to pick up her gift and give a gift to the ones who need you at Camp Barnabas by adopting a Barnabas Bear of your own. With your help we were able to raise $50,000.00! Congratulations and Thank you all!

In 2003 and 2004 we built a new swimming pool and a huge set of playground equipment both specially designed to be safe enough to meet the needs of all the children that visit the camp.

Last year with your help we were able to donate enough money to build an entire housing cabin.
