Thousands of generous, caring individuals have funded and built the current infrastructure of Camp Many Stars. Family cabins, roads, and trails have been built, and electrical, sewer and water are in place. There is more to do, time is running short, and we need your help.
Donating your time to attend camp to work on special projects with your family or a group can also be a big help. Join the 8,200 volunteers who have already helped to build camp by contacting our staff at:
307 884-6029 or by sending a message to: thejoyofdowns@gmail.com.
Please accept our deepest thanks and gratitude for your interest. We know that your contribution, however large or small, will provide the means for making Camp Many Stars become a reality.
Because most of camp has been built by youth, we want to give them the opportunity to make cash donations as well.
We encourage philanthropists and those who wish to make larger contributions to contact us directly at:

Approximately 8,000 youth from around the country have responded to these children’s needs and have donated 80,000 hours to the construction of camp.
Many individuals and foundations have generously contributed a total of $2.5 million to The Joy of Downs. Some of the major donors are: the George S and Dolores Dore‘ Eccles Foundation, the Daniels Fund, the Ashton Family Foundation, and the Savage family.
Jeannine and I invite you to join with us to improve the lives of children with Down syndrome and their families by supporting the Joy of Downs, Inc.
The motivating philosophy of The Joy of Downs is that there is JOY in sharing life with a child with Down syndrome, especially within our families – and Jeannine and I agree. We are blessed to be the parents of Joseph, a 20 year-old young adult with Down syndrome. Joseph brings joy, love, and the spirit of the Lord into our home every day.
Life is challenging for all families, and families who are blessed with a child with Down syndrome have challenges and opportunities unique to raising a heavenly child.
Because The Joy of Downs believes that strengthening families is the foundation to improving lives, they focus on three objectives to enrich children’s lives within their families: Building and operating a camp for children with Down syndrome and their families; Providing leadership and service opportunities for young adults and adults with Down syndrome; Sharing and teaching best practices in family relations and child development.
Our family has been strengthened by the activities of The Joy of Downs and we are working to help thousands of other families enjoy the same opportunities.
We invite those who love these heavenly children and desire to strength families to join with us and support the Joy of Downs.
