Camp Guardian Camper Info

Children and adults, ages eight and beyond, with physical and/or intellectual disabilities are eligible to attend Camp Guardian.  During camper selection, medical history and behavioral factors are carefully considered. Camper applicants who are affiliated with a current or retired Missouri National Guardsperson (e.g., family member, relative, close friend), from economically disadvantaged households and first-time applicants are given special consideration in the selection process.

A thoroughly and accurately completed Camper Application must be provided for every Camp Guardian camper candidate. (To access required forms, please click-on the below link). If you have any questions, feel free to click-on the "About Us" button, or click-on the "Contact" button to submit your inquiry. In addition, click-on the "Media" button to check-out videos and photos from previous camps. 

Please Note: Sadly, each year, we receive more camper applications than we can accommodate. For organizations submitting multiple camper applications - we may not be able to accept all of your clients. Please let us know in advance if this will be an issue (provide statement on/with the camper application).
