Hi All,
I am looking for integrated and positive camp experiences for an 8 year old girl with PDD. Has anyone had experience with Camp Eureka? Can anyone suggest camps where special needs campers are supported and integrated with typical campers. I am interested in overnight camps and day camps near or in Vancouver. Thank you so much for your help, Leslie
