Camp Barnabas in Southwest Missouri provides a unique Christian summer camp experience to individuals with special needs, their siblings and youths from across the United States. The unique aquatic complex project was made possible thanks to the vision of Camp Barnabas leadership, a generous donation from the Morgan family (owner of Sunbelt Pools), and many of the top manufacturers and suppliers supporting the aquatics industry.
The complex is the largest swimming pool in America that has been designed to serve individuals with disabilities, and it offers a specialized aquatic experience for special needs campers of all ages. The complex features two environments: a Zen-style area for campers with sensory sensitivities, and a more stimulating zone featuring interactive water features, sprays and excitement. The complex was designed to allow all campers to participate and enjoy without limitation.
