RJ has attended MDA's weeklong overnight summer camp for the past eight years. It is a week of summertime fun for everyone involved! RJ has been blessed to have wonderful counselors; Angela, Mitch, and Rory who have truly helped make his camp experience memories that will last a lifetime. Thank you Angela, Mitch and Rory for your time, effort and commitment in taking care of RJ, making him feel special, limitless, and building his confidence while clearly having a ton of fun!
We were hesitant to send our then 7-year-old son to his first weeklong MDA camp, but everyone at camp from the MDA staff, to the doctors/nurses and all the counselors reassured us RJ would be very well taken care of. We were happy to learn that every camper has his own counselor for the entire week. We were not disappointed - camp was truly an amazing experience for RJ! Most importantly, he began to establish new friendships with kids just like him.
At MDA summer camp, kids with neuromuscular disease discover a world created specifically for them, and meet many other kids sharing the same needs and experiences. MDA camp offers a fun outdoor experience, along with opportunities to engage in a variety of activities such as horseback riding, swimming, fishing, adaptive sports, arts and crafts, camp dances, campfires, canoeing, rock wall and much more! RJ is very fond of steak night, campfires, and casino night; with black jack his favorite...soon enough he will want to go to Las Vegas instead of Disney World!
Thank you MDA of Northeast Ohio and all the volunteers who make camp so special each and every year!
