Run by the Disabled Athlete Sports Association (DASA), Camp WeCanDu provides an opportunity for local youth with physical disabilities to fully participate in a week-long, traditional summer camp experience. Children living with cerebral palsy, spinal cord injuries, visual impairments, and many other forms of physical disabilities will come together to create a fun and engaging social support system that encourages campers to discover their natural abilities through athletic and sensory activities while instilling family values and promoting independence and self-confidence that will later resonate through all aspects of life.

KVC Missouri’s Meramec Adventure Ranch is located just 90 miles from St. Louis and offers ropes courses, aquatic adventures, camping, climbing, kayaking, biking, team challenges, and more. Our summer camp challenges youth ages 7-18 with mental health challenges and autism to explore the outdoors in an exciting, supportive and safe environment. We also serve wounded veterans and their families, as well as groups looking for challenges, growth, and healing. Expert staff and programming helps participants connect to nature and other people, and experience deep personal healing and transformation. Operated by KVC Health (formerly Great Circle).
