Camp John Marc is a year-round therapy camp located in Meridian, Texas (85 miles southwest of Dallas) for Texas-area children with chronic illnesses/major physical disabilities such as Muscular dystrophy, Cancer, Brain injuries, HIV/AIDS, Spina bifida, etc. The 140-acre tranquil retreat area in the Texas Hill Country provides 20 wheelchair accessible, air conditioned cabins; lodge-style dining hall; centrally located building; accessible challenge course; athletic field; riding ring; amphitheater; chapel; shooting sports range; a swimming pool; nature trails; as well as teepee, tree house and covered wagon camping areas. Camp John Marc also utilizes community and medical volunteers to provide program support and quality medical care and treatment.
This facility has been in operation since the 1960s with Muscular Dystrophy camps being the forerunners in 1967, many disease-related camps followed years later. Its only major concern is that there was no permanent site until June 1, 1991 which was the official day of Grand Opening after construction was completed.
