Here are a few highlights from the past 2 months: We went to Sea World, Aquatica, our\u00a0<b><a href=\"https:\/\/chrisnorton.org\/wheelchair-camp\/\">Foundation Family\u00a0Wheelchair Camp<\/a><\/b> in Minnesota, spent time with family and friends in Iowa, watched fireworks over the Mississippi River on the 4th of July, weekend getaway to Fort Lauderdale, and celebrated 3 birthdays and 1 adoption day. I\u2019d say we\u00a0made the most of our summer vacation.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\u00a0\r\n\r\n<p>However, no trip can measure up to something as meaningful as our camp experience. It emphasizes a quote of mine, \u201cLife is as rich as the lives you enrich.\u201d It\u2019s great to treat yourself but when you can also treat somebody else to something special and help them smile it just means more. I have seen this play out over and over again and even as I reflect on all of the memories created from this summer.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\u00a0\r\n\r\n<p>This June we brought together 22 families across the country who all have at least one\u00a0child with a physical disability. These kids and myself\u00a0know all too well what it\u2019s like to be excluded, to feel alone, self conscious of their differences, and to be on the sidelines as a spectator instead of in the action, but\u00a0not at this camp.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\u00a0\r\n\r\n<p>This year\u2019s camp theme was \u201cSee the Possibilities\u201d which is exactly what took place over the course of 4 days. All the campers used their unique abilities to do activities they didn\u2019t think they could do. Like zip line, horseback ride, play laser tag, score soccer goals, and launch rockets, among many other activities. Kids who have never had a friend made lots of friends. Parents who felt they had no one else to relate to their situation or had no one\u00a0to talk to found other parents to confide in. It\u2019s a special week.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\u00a0\r\n\r\n<p>After witnessing now three different years of transformations, we are not only going to make sure to have this camp every single year in Minnesota, but the hope is to have these camps across the country in every major region. We will also work hard to\u00a0make sure everyone of them are\u00a0completely free for the entire family to attend. The biggest challenge is finding a camp that has enough (15 or more) ADA accessible rooms.
