The topics will match the stories the kids are simultaneously learning:

• July 8:  Abraham and Sarah—planning is nice, but flexibility and a sense of humor are essential.

• July 9: Zacchaeus—staycations are good but best with a party.

• July 10:  Paul—the direct route is not always the best route.

Although connected, each conversation topic is complete on its own, so participants are welcome any evening, even if they can’t attend all three or they are volunteering to help the young people some evenings. ​

  • SOAR is holding their Northland camp in Raytown July 6-10, 9:00-4:00.  Campers are 3 years and older (including adults), with all diagnoses and all levels of special needs.  Day camp pairs fully trained professional teams with volunteers to assure each camper is supported for a safe, fun, and unforgettable camp experience.
