Summer Camp is our favorite time of year, so we are already dreaming up fun activities for our 2024 campers. The application to join us for one of the ten summer camp sessions is now live. Submit your application today!
At Camp Baker, kids and adults with disabilities get to enjoy all the traditional fun of summer camp. The 22 wooded acres are a beautiful setting for horseback riding, arts and crafts, sports, fishing, music and drama activities, hiking, paddle boating and even outdoor tent camping. Plus, campers get to participate in Summer Camp’s famous talent show.

The Ladybug Fund Winetasting & Silent Auction is happening on Saturday, April 27, and for the first time in history we have sold out of tickets! But you can still participate and contribute to SOAR365’s children and youth program by bidding on one of the many items in our silent auction.
Our highly anticipated silent auction features exceptional wines up for bid, and other sought-after experiences such as an escape to Nags Head, a dinner for eight or a stay at the Quirk Hotel, among other items. The silent auction goes live on April 22.

PARK365 is free to visitors, but not to us. It costs a lot to run a free park, and donations help us maintain PARK365. Thank you for supporting this amazing community resource! |
