Camp Big Sky
The mission of Camp Big Sky is to provide accessible fishing, camping, boating and other related outdoor opportunities to children and adults with disabilities. The camp is open every Wednesday through Saturday from the first week of April to the end of October and is available to any person of any age with any disability that limits or restricts their access to the outdoors. There is no charge to visit Camp Big Sky and we welcome and encourage friends and family to accompany campers to share the experience. We operate a 102 acre accessible camp on former strip mine land near Farmington in central Illinois, about one hour west of Peoria. Our infrastructure is wheelchair accessible. We offer both day activities and overnight accomodations. Campers need only bring their consumables (food and drink) as we provide most everything else, including fishing equipment, bait, boats, gas grills, life jackets, and lots of fun activities including fishing, boating, camping, kite flying, nature study, hiking, bocce ball, and lawn games. Reservations are required and visits can be scheduled through our website by clicking on Visit Us, then Calendar of Events, and email us, or by calling at 309-258-6002. We are a 501 c 3 not for profit corporation governed by a 15 member community based board of directors.
