Once again on August 16 we held the opening of our handicapped camp in conjunction with two fabulous partners, The Resource Center and Camp Onyahsa. This camp is attended by adults with special needs that without this opportunity would never experience summer camp on Chautauqua Lake. For those of us who attend the opening "campfire" emotions of the campers ranges from shear joy to tears of worry in facing a new experience. At the end of the evening all that remains are the smiles!
Thanks to Jon Obrian and his committed staff who are so dedicated to making this an experience that brings joy to our special campers!

If you have a campfire you must sing with the help of Tim Edborg and Randy Graham.
And a few photos.
