Finding Peace at Camp No Limits
We wrapped up our FIFTH year at Camp No Limits Missouri. Five years of camps. This year’s group was bigger than ever and as usual, it was remarkable. I feel the need to list some of the reasons why camp was amazing.
1) Thanks to you, the Born Just Right community, we were able to raise $4,000 for camp scholarships. That’s amazing. And I’m ready to start fundraising for 2014.
2) Even when camp wasn’t going as planned, our kids were having an amazing time. The friendships that instantly happen between the limb different kids and the siblings are remarkable to watch. The Camp No Limits kids connect so quickly. There were kids I feel like I’ve known for a long time because I’ve been able to talk to their parents online. But to actually see Jordan connect with them in real life was remarkable. I’m not kidding.
3) Speaking of remarkable, Cameron grew up right in front of my eyes during camp. I allowed him to stay in the boy cabin and away from our family cabin of many little girls. He was a supportive sibling and really seemed to conduct himself as a dramatically more mature kid than in years past. I’m incredibly proud. It was like he’s finally at peace with some of the battles he’s had as a sibling of a limb different sister. What a awesome place to find your peace.
4) There is something amazing when you realize people you’ve talked to for years online are really just as awesome as you expected in person. There’s another level of amazing when you connect with parents of limb different children who you have never met before. And then there’s the incredible feeling when you get to reunite with families you’ve know for years at camp. I feel so blessed to be part of this experience for so many years.
Enjoy this little Story about camp and then enjoy the video slideshow I put together that helped end our big talent show night!

Agree x100! So glad we don’t have to wait a whole year to see you guys again! Our air mattress awaits! 😀
I can’t wait, Patti!
Hi, we are a family of five. Our third baby was born this past February. He had a manor complication with left kidney which apparently wasn’t a major issue. He was retaining a little bit of pipi but Doctor’s kept assuring that it would correct own his own. He came out missing half of left hand with only one little thumb and we ended up in surgery a month a ago to fix a duct that was obstructed. Also cardiologist pop in to the picture saying there is little vent that closes when his born and it hasn’t so we are top of that as well.
I’m not going to lie it’s been the hardest thing to digest how could reassure a bright future when you don’t want to walk anymore. I’ve been reading your daughter web and it amazes me. I wish one day we could meet you at camp but resources are minimal you are an inspiration keep doing what you are doing helping so many people you are truly a good person.
sincerely..

Karoll & Stefano – I’m so glad to meet you. I know things can feel overwhelming at times. I’m here to say that if you focus on the positive and encourage your son to do and try everything, he will amaze you. Camp No Limits offers scholarships. That’s why we raise money each year so more families can have the experience. Hopefully you will have a chance to attend some time soon!
