What parents are saying:
“I came from Jamaica looking for help for my daughter, Imani. Doctorsand teachers are very willing to tell parents of autistic children what theywill never be able to do. All of her shortcomings were explained to me,and I was hating myself for starting to believe them.
Then we came to Pensacola and Kids for Camp, not knowing what toexpect and hoping that it was not more of the same. I was just amazed atthe number of children, activities and programs, but most of all I wasamazed at the mindset of the persons I came into contact with. Everyone spoke of unlimited potential verses limited and, speaking frompersonal experience, I needed that more than anything else. So, ThanksKids for Camp for an enlightening 5 weeks.”
