The enhancement of the quality of life for youth, especially those with disabilities, through the delivery of a traditional camp experience by caring individuals and to enable others to use our camping and retreat facilities to serve the larger communities humanitarian needs.

Camp Crescendo Goals
  • To continue the music education and development of youth through the enriching experience of the band training program.
  • To ensure that all vision impaired and/or hearing impaired children in Kentucky have an opportunity to participate in the enriching experience and lifetime camping memory of attending camp, regardless of the ability to pay.
  • To expand our services to other age groups within the vision and hearing impaired population, including seniors.
  • To seek out other special population groups who are without services within the state of Kentucky and develop programs suitable to their needs.
  • To continue to offer affordable facilities to other nonprofit groups (i.e. churches, schools, youth groups and other organizations).
  • To develop programs for younger children to spark their interest in desirable activities.
  • To utilize Crescendo facilities to the fullest to minimize operational costs and to proceed with debt reduction at the fastest pace possible.
