Dragonfly Forest Lands in Phoenixville

Dragonfly Forest is coming to Phoenixville.  

In the summer of 2013, the camp—a non-profit organization committed to offering a fun camp experience for kids with Autism and other medical needs—will be held at The National Christian Conference Center in Phoenixville.

"The new facility will give us the ability to mix the traditional rustic feel of camp programming at a modern facility,"  said Scott Arizala, VP of Summer Programming for the camp. "Our programming staff is excited about the amount of outdoor space that we will have that can be used to create a camp experience, while the indoor space is there to support the programming when needed."

Some of the amenities at the facility include.

• Over 25 acres of wooded space
• Miles of trails and cool places to explore
• Climate controlled, hotel style housing for campers, volunteers and staff
• Individual bathrooms per sleeping unit
• Outdoor camping venues
• Large outdoor campfire venue
• Dedicated medical facility on campus with a Triage/Wellness Center in the housing area
• A heated outdoor swimming pool 
• A full flock of sheep on premise
• A new Dragonfly Forest specially designed high and low ropes course 
• Hangout and Quiet Areas for Campers and Staff
• A Food Service Program designed to accommodate everyone's dining needs
• Minutes away from local and regional hospitals in case of medical emergencies
• Specialty Housing for Medical and Leadership Staff

"Perhaps the most exciting part of Dragonfly Forest's new home is that it will allow us to develop new and exciting programs, and gives us the ability to grow to serve more kids into the future," stated Fred Weiner, Dragonfly Forest President.
