The Excerpt · At this summer camp, disability doesn’t mean sitting out · 25 Aug 2026 podcast

Same thing with if they have a kid with diabetes, they've gone to conferences to learn more about that.

So a huge part of parents being comfortable with dropping their kids off at camp.

is the amount of training that the medical staff goes through.

And not just that, but that with each each camper has a designated counselor.

And beyond that, some kids have two designated counselors, one who will stay overnight with them depending on their condition.

So it's really round the clock care.

I think I think a huge part of what helps camp feel lighthearted, even though it isn't always, is the counselors themselves really coming in and like pouring themselves into this.

The girls I spoke with who are counselors said that there's often like a waiting list each year of people who want to be volunteers.

So this is something that like some girls, especially in the in the Orthodox community who are really familiar with this camp.

Camp grow up really wanting to be a part of.

And I was amazed by the energy that these counselors had.

When I was there, I saw people dressed in matching outfits.

Each day of the week, there was a different theme of camp.

And there was a set of overnight counselors who stayed up late decorating camp in the morning to make it really exciting.

When I was there, there was like a dance party after lunch where, you know, everyone was included.

Like this was a space where regardless.

Regardless of if there was a child in a wheelchair or with a mobility cane, they were in the center of the dance party as well.

So I think just that acceptance and the excitement and energy that staff helped facilitate really makes camp feel like a special place, even when there are those hard conversations and hard moments, having that supportive environment there.

Yeah, absolutely.

I think that that's a huge piece of this is that for these parents, you know, these are kids some of whom need round the clock care.
