The mission of Camp Summit is to provide barrier-free outdoor experiences that promote personal growth and foster independence for children and adults with disabilities. Camp Summit was founded in 1947 and is a United Way agency partner, is accredited by the American Camp Association, and is licensed as a Youth Camp in the State of Texas. The program offers week-long camp sessions in the summer and weekend sessions in fall and spring. Campers range from age six to adult – with no upper age limit. Camp Summit has never denied a camper’s participation due to inability to pay or severity of disability. The camp focuses on wellness and independent living skills, as well as environmental education and conservation. 

The CoServ Charitable Foundation is funded by the Operation Roundup® program that “rounds up” CoServ members’ and customers’ bills to the nearest dollar. CoServ employees also contribute through payroll deduction. The average yearly donation is $6 (or 50 cents a month), and the pennies generated save lives, keep families together, catch criminals, provide meals and much more. To date, the Foundation generated more than $1.6 million to worthy causes in the CoServ service area as a result of generous Operation Roundup® donations.

All administrative costs associated with Operation Roundup® are covered by outside fundraisers. This allows us to locally donate 100 percent of Operation Roundup® funds to offer hope to families. Thanks to CoServ members’, customers’, and employees’ generosity, participants at Camp Summit can be assured of timely meals at breakfast, lunch and dinner.
