Thanks, Louise. Words can not describe the camp

experience. To see my little one, just turned 7,, who

will not discuss her injury, comparing and showing

scars to her new 6 year old "friend" made it all

worthwhile. Sure, the adult talks, kids talks and

activities were great but it is the actual seeing and

meeting those with the same injury that, I feel, is

the greatest gift.I would suggest so strongly that

those who have never gone to camp make attending a

very high priority for next camp.It is truly amazing.

Best wishes, Lou

Injury Description, Date, extent, surgical intervention etc: I am ROBPI, global injury, Horner's Syndrome. No surgery but PT started at 2 weeks old under the direction of New York Hospital. I wore a brace 24/7 for the first 11 months of my life. I've never let my injury be used as an excuse not to do something. I've approach all things, in life, as a challenge. I approach anything new wondering if I can do it. I tried so many things I might never have tried, if I were not obpi. Being OBPI has made me strong, creative, more determined and persistent. I believe that being obpi has given me a very strong sense of humor and compassion for others.

Camp just seemed to fly by so fast...
I was so happy to meet so many people.
Us older people did have to put on our glasses to see the name tags.
The kids were great I truly enjoyed them at our injured only workshop.
Parent said the children would not talk...
They were wrong they are chatty little folks and of course beautiful, cute children with great personalities.
I was amazed at the progress some of the children I met two year ago have made.

Thanks for coming and sharing this wonderful experience with us.
