Any positive stories about day camp over the summer?

April 30, 2010

I can't recall where I read it but there was an article for reasons to send a

child with special needs to camp. My husband does not want to send my son to

camp and I thought it could be good it it was a day camp for a week or so.

Anyone have any experience to share? Kate
