Christian Appalachian Project – Rainbow Respite Center – Kentucky
CAP is an independent nonprofit primarily funded by individual donors and churches rather than a particular denomination. We are an interdenominational Christian organization, and our volunteers come from a variety of faith traditions and participate in daily prayer led by one another. Openness to diversity is necessary for community life.
The Christian Appalachian Project (CAP) offers a wide array of services through programs that support the specific needs of children and adults with disabilities and their families. Christian Appalachian Project is an interdenominational organization serving all 13 Appalachian states.

Christian Appalachian Project offers two summer camp programs in eastern Kentucky: Camp Andrew Jackson and Camp Shawnee. Both provide a rewarding week of learning and fun to more than 1,000 Appalachian children each summer. With a charge of only $10 per child, the camps serve those who could otherwise not afford the opportunity to attend a summer camp. No child is turned away due to inability to pay. Summer Camp activities include canoeing, fishing, arts and crafts, swimming, hiking, camping, praise and worship and field games. While all the activities are fun for the children, they also provide the opportunity to learn important life skills such as leadership, safety, team building, self-esteem and respect for others.
