  • Kaidale LOVED his first summer camp. This was an incredible experience for him and one that I am sure he will never forget. I am so grateful that he got this opportunity to go to camp I am special.

    I worked at a special needs camp in Akron Ohio this summer, as part of camp America. It’s one of the best things I’ve ever done. I’m going back again next year. It’s amazing helping special needs kids live the dream summer experience

    We love Camp I Am Special ❤️. My daughter has been a camper since 2014, I have served dinners and lunch with a great group of ladies, helped in the office, our family has tended the Mary Garden for several years, my older son is a buddy, and my other daughter is a future buddy! Lots of changes happened because of Covid, but that can’t stop the spirit of camp! I got to see G and the other support staff hard at work…so thankful they dedicated so much of their time and talents this year. 😊

    What a great experience! You had mentioned wherever you are in your travels you'll come back next summer so it got me to thinking....With your last video you mentioned him being home sick and asking/obsessing for big guy's house, do you anticipate him obsessing over big guy's house while traveling or did it have to do with being in one place for too long? Love your content and seeing your sweet boy just mastering the obstacles of life.

    • @Kaitlin_and_Kaidale
      @Kaitlin_and_Kaidale  2 роки тому +1

      Yes I do expect for him to probably obsess on big guys house while we are traveling. However, my parents are also thinking about making a change in the near future and possibly relocating closer to where my siblings live. Not sure if it will happen or not, but I figured this will allow him to get some distance and start to adjust to spending time away from big guys house.
