Why I-95 Drives For Camp CaPella – Meet Shawn

13 year old Shawn loved to swim. He didn’t Cerebral Palsy slow him down.  “leave me alone,” he would say ---“I can do it myself”! One day he asked the Director, “Dana, do you know why I love to swim so much?” “No the director replied” why do you love swimming so much?”  Because, replied Shawn, “when I am in the water, I can walk”.

Things we often take for granted is a very big deal for Camp CaPella kids. Being able to swim ---sets you free when you have s physical disability. And at Camp, disabilities just don’t matter. For a week----Shawn and all the other campers are just kids having fun ---where they can do anything anyone else can.
