I don't believe he will have his own aide there. This camp was originally
established for special needs only. They have tons of stuff there, most of
the same equipment that he used at school, only they also have a pool (they
get to swim everyday!!! Morgan will be an Olympic swimmer by the time camp
is done LOL), horseback riding, and nature trails. The last couple of
years it has been harder to get into, I guess, because they have eliminated
some of the special needs spots so that typical peers can go to the same
camp, too. Most of the camp counselors have worked with kids with special
needs before. They have week long overnight camps for special kids, too,
but I didn't think Morgan was ready for that and I know I'm not!
