Hi guys,
I just thought I'd share some good news with you :p
I have to give you a brief background first though ahha
In Nova Scotia there are 3 YMCA/Community Services Res camps. Each of them have weeks of campers aged 8-12 and 13-16 and a week of adults with special needs. One of the camps (Glasgowhead) has what's called 'special week' which is a week where children with special needs (mental and physical) get to come to camp.
Well in my end of summer report this year, I suggested that Aitebreagh (that's my camp) get a special week too, because the need is clearly there. And the coordinator of camping services has informed me that we're going to get one!!!
I am soooo excited, we only take as many campers as there are counselors that week so that each person gets one-on-one care.
I "lent" one of my counselors last summer to Glasgowhead for special week and he camp back a changed man, it was such an amazing experience for him that he became SUCH a better counselor!
I thought you'd all be happy for me and my staff! haha
And also, if anyone wants to suggest programs that I can pass along to my AD that would be awesome too :o
