Forever His camp at Karns Church of Christ

Forever His camp is completely free for children and adults with moderate to severe disabilities, but you must preregister to attend.

It will be held at Karns Church of Christ on Saturday, April 15, from 10 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. and includes songs, crafts, games, puppets, scavenger hunt, story time, karaoke and live animals.

Every child will have personal “buddies” who will spend the day with them, taking care of any needs and cheering them on throughout the activities! There are physicians, PAs, RNs, OT/PT/SLPs, and a host of church members anxious to make this the best day ever for our guests!

Register here. Questions? Call Karns Church: 865-691-7411 or email Kim Higginbotham.
