If you live in the DelMarVa / PA / D.C. area, you can start at page 1----most of the camps are in Maryland, but should be fairly easily accessible. (I DID see a couple of things in NY and NJ, as well.) If you live in other parts of the country, I would suggest starting with page 49 (there's 77 pages----BUT, there's only TWO things, per page).

Alot of them accept LOTS of different disabilities, including Autism, Asperger's, Multiple Sclerosis, Diabetes, Cerebral Palsy, Apraxia, etc.; people who need wheelchairs, walkers, feeding tubes, oxygen, etc. Helpers are assigned, as needed. People are grouped with others of similar disabilities----AND, the best part of all, is it's NOT just for CHILDREN; in fact, some places don't even allow children!! YAAAAAAY!!

I think that's a great idea. Why wasn't that thought of sooner.

My father some times drives me and my family around the U.S. So would that count?
