I am sorry I haven't posted anything for a few weeks, months even but I didn't feel that I had anything to share but now that I'm thinking about it, I do. Here it goes:
For those who don't know Easter Seals, it is a non profit organization that gives people with disabilities an opportunity to go to camp for a week out of the summer.
I have been going to Camp Squamish for ten years as a camper, a year as a Leader in Training (LIT) and two years as a volunteer. for me, Easter Seals Camp Squamish as changed my life in ways I can't explain and still is changing my life and outlook. I remember when I first started going, there used to be a bus that would pick all of us up and drop us off and every time I left, my mom would see me off and I would cry because I didn't want to go and I would cry every time I would come back from camp.
I went to Easter Seals Camp Squamish as a volunteer from July 9th-16th and it was an absolutely amazing experience and I gained so much personal growth. One of the things that I wanted to work on at camp was camper focus and I think I did so much of that because of all the support I got from all the Campers, Counsellors and coordinators in their own unique way. I would like to thank all of them for helping me help the campers which is why I love going there in the first place.
I was a counsellor for a summer at Easter Seals Camp Winfield. I know exactly what you mean, one of the most amazing experiences of my life. Good on ya, matey. :)
