Awakening some GREAT ideas for Camp Awakening!
Team Spuds (formerly known as Team Potato Head!) is off to a great start, brainstorming some amazing ideas to support the 30th anniversary of Camp Awakening!
Camp Awakening is an integrated, outdoor recreation program for youth, ages 9-18, with physical disabilities. They operate out of two mainstream summer camps in Ontario – Kilcoo Camp for boys near Minden, and Camp Oconto for girls north of Kingston. The campers have a wide range of disabilities such as cerebral palsy, spina bifida, muscular dystrophy, juvenile arthritis, epilepsy, spinal cord injury, acquired brain injury, vision loss, and amputation.
The campers succeed in conquering new challenges at their own pace and at their own level of ability. They enjoy wilderness adventures through the camp’s canoe-tripping program, and traditional in-camp activities such as swimming, sailing, kayaking land sports, ropes course, climbing tower, horseback riding, archery and handicrafts.
For the next 48 hours, we’re going to be putting our top PR talent to the test as we help “the best kept secret in camping” become the go-to organization for integrated outdoor recreation for youth with physical disabilities. Stay tuned!!
