SUMMER CAMPS FOR people with disabilities and for siblings!

Posted on by wisibs

The weather in Appleton Wisconsin was absolutely gorgeous this weekend…something as Wisconsinites we dream about to get us through the months of winter blasts of cold and snow.  So while I’ve been getting camps organized for the siblings who participate with WisconSibs Sib Camps since January, this weather also prompted me to finish Phillip’s (my son with disabilities) camp schedule.1620594_285969371590635_7038379701286800850_n

If you are looking for camps for your child or adult with disabilities OR their siblings, check out this website for camps in Wisconsin.  http://www.veryspecialcamps.com/Wisconsin/Special-Needs-Summer-Camps.shtml

Kids (and even adults) gain so many benefits from time away in the outdoors.  They learn new skills, breathe fresh air, discover the wonders of outdoors, and meet people they may never have met otherwise.   And parents, admit it, you could use the respite.
