Marbridge Summer Camp begins June 13!
Application deadline is May 17!
Our 210-acre ranch allows summer campers to enjoy a wide variety of activities while promoting team development. All activities are adapted to meet the interests, skills, and ages of our campers, and our dedicated staff will positively reinforce the progress that individuals make in problem solving, interpersonal communications, self-assurance, and independent living tasks.
Plus, Marbridge Summer Camp is downright fun! We enjoy many different activities, including horseback riding, swimming, town trips to local attractions, arts & crafts, music, games and much more!

The Marbridge Longhorns strutted their stuff and proved, once again, they were a force to be reckoned with at the Special Olympics Regional Track Meet on April 23 and 24. Our team brought home six Gold medals, 10 Silver and nine Bronze medals. We also added five 4th place ribbons and one 5th place ribbon to our trophy case. Notable standouts included Eddie Bauer with a Gold medal in the 50-meter assisted walk; Walter Hendrick, Gold for the Turbo Javelin throw; Michelle Levins, Gold in the 50-meter dash; Spook Partlow, Gold medals in both the men's 50-meter walk and Softball Throw; and Missy Rosen for a Gold medal in the women's 50-meter dash.
If you would like to help with supplies for our Special Olympics teams, you may donate now, or contact Michelle Levy, vice president of development, at 512-282-1144, ext. 1006, or mlevy@marbridge.org
