Santa's Camp and Wonderland
Starting in December of 1998 our Santa Visit Program visited over 300 Special Children in hospitals with additional private visits to children with life threatening illnesses and children in crisis. Since then, Santa and his Elves have touched the hearts of children and their families, friends, child life specialists, caregivers, firemen and others. For example, this past summer, we visited over 200 children and caregivers at Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA) summer camps in Iowa and Nebraska.
The overall goals and objectives of Santa’s Camp and Wonderland are to provide Kids in Distressed Situations (KIDS) and adults with disabilities with programs that allow participants to just have some “FUN”. The organization also provides KIDS with new books, clothing, produce from the garden and a place to hang out and enjoy their stay for a day or a week. KIDS and adults with disabilities all will benefit from the Santa Visit Program, the KIDS Gift Giving Program, Hope Garden Program, and the new Glamping/Camp Program. Several areas of support are available through donations to continue helping KIDS and adults with disabilities.
