Why I-95 Drives For Camp CaPella: Meet New Potential

A mother brought her 5 year old autistic son to camp. Upon arriving, she told the camp staff that she didn’t think her son would be able to make it through the week. “ He wouldn’t swim, We’d never get him on the boat,  He had no friends, and she just didn’t think he would be able to make it.” On Friday, after a week at camp, her son had to introduce his mother to a couple of his new friends, and had to show his mother how he could swim to the float. I watched as his mother stood on the beach with tears streaming down her face saying, “I never thought I would ever see him be able to do this!”

At Camp CaPella, campers learn through play. They learn things they never thought they would ever be able to do.

That’s the kind of wonderful place Camp CaPella is and that the kind of resource we have right here for children with many disabilities.

Camp CaPella is a privately funded non-profit that I-95 helps with fundraising whenever we can.  Our next event is the I95 Classic Drive and Car Show with Maine Oxy . We'd love to have you with us! Click here to register.

This year Camp CaPella is also looking for Challenge Pacesetter businesses to participate in the LaVerdiere Challenge to allow them to get match funds for your donations so it is a great year to help. Also, on June 27 & 28 I-95 will be having a our CaPellaThon where you can call in and pledge money to help send kids to camp.
