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 here for children with many disabilities.

Camp CaPella is a privately funded non-profit that I-95 helps with fundraising whenever we can.

This year we are shaking things up a little offering you the reins to I-95 with THE I-95 REQUEST-A-THON FOR CAMP CAPELLA IS THIS FRIDAY!
