"*Peter's learning disabilities have been so severe that he could not get by without very significant support. We can tell Peter that he is bright but I know camp this summer allowed him to experience learning where his disabilities were not a major barrier. He was a real member of the group without special accommodations. It was a powerful experience that continues to boost his self-image and allows him to value what he is good at. He was able to use his wonderful insights and imagination without the barriers of his disability."
