According to Camp Summit President/CEO Carla Weiland,
“My wish this holiday season is that every child and adult with disabilities has the opportunity to experience the joy of camp.
“For many of our campers, their parents struggle every month to cover the costs of required medications, doctors’ visits, and ongoing therapies. This almost makes it impossible to give their child with a disability the normal experience of camp. Many of our families need help with the cost of accessible recreational activities for their forever child. They also rarely have the opportunity for respite from the daily tasks of caregiving. Often, they are so overwhelmed with their day-to-day routine that fun and fulfilling activities, other families can enjoy, seem unreachable.
“Over 90% of Camp Summit campers and families receive financial assistance from Camp Summit in order to attend camp. Help us continue our tradition of accepting all campers, regardless of their ability to pay, their age, or the severity of their disability, by donating in support of our 2023 ‘campership’ campaign.
“Your donation helps to ensure our remarkable campers will never be turned away due to financial hardship! With your help they will experience the freedom of the outdoors, make s’mores around the campfire with new friends, and enjoy a week of adventure with no barriers.
“Support our campers by donating here, or visit www.campsummittx.org to learn more about our barrier-free camp programs. Thank you for making a camper’s dream come true this holiday season. Happy Holidays from Camp Summit and our remarkable campers!”
