Barnabas Prep Equipping young adults with special needs to live a life of ability. Barnabas Prep is a faith-based collegiate program based in Branson, Missouri.

Our mission is to equip young adults with special needs and disabilities for a life of self-confidence, societal significance, and spiritual maturity in Christ. During our nine month program, students study a variety of different classes, they learn independent living skills, and they are given the opportunity to apply their knowledge by working in the local community. Formed under the Barnabas Foundation, Barnabas Prep operates closely with Camp Barnabas. For more information or to schedule a tour of campus, please send us an email at [email protected].

We had an awesome overnight camping trip at our annual Outdoor Dreams days at Diversified Freedom for Disabilities Park.

We enjoyed a presentation by Wonders of Wildlife, the Rogersville Fire Department, and the Webster County Sheriff's Department followed by a delicious dinner prepared by the Catfish Boys from Dickens Baptist Church.

In addition we enjoyed fishing, shooting, crafting, and camping with our Prep family.

We had a great time at our very first Social Club of the school year! We painted pumpkins, played outdoor games in the beautiful fall weather, and sang our hearts out at karaoke. One of the crowd favorites was something we don’t get very often on campus: sodas!

We’re so thankful for the volunteers who join us for Social Club! Interested in volunteering with Barnabas Prep or our monthly Social Club? Reach out to Railey at [email protected].
