Camp Koinonia

Camp Koinonia Residential therapeutic recreation camping programs for individuals with various disabilities. This has proven true for hundreds of individuals over the years.

Camp Koinonia is an outdoor education program for children ages 7-21 who have multiple disabilities. The program was developed in 1977 at Virginia Tech as part of a class with the primary purpose of providing a meaningful, experiential learning opportunity for university students while involving children and young adults, some with severe disabilities, in outdoor activities that they would not be able to do otherwise. During the first year of the program a counselor/camper duo submitted the winning name for the program - Camp Koinonia. Koinonia comes from the Greek and means 'fellowship' and 'caring community'. Since that time the purpose and mission of Camp Koinonia has been to provide a 'caring community' for our campers in sense of true 'fellowship'. It is also said of Camp Koinonia that this is...'An Experience That Will Last A Lifetime'.
