Week 2 of Camp

Waiting for the shuttle


Joseph is loving camp.  Last week it took a few days to settle in and get used to the people and schedule.  This week he is riding on a shuttle to camp and seems to like that.  His only fear was that he could not rock when he was in the van because people would laugh at him.  I assured him that they would not laugh.  He does not even notice that all these children have disabilities in one way or another. 

He has not made a good friend yet but this is due to his autism and all the others around him suffering some social disorder.  I would imagine it makes it hard for them to really bond with one another.  He loves going on the field trips.  So far they have been to the movies, bowling, tractor museum and sprinkle pool.  He goes swimming on Tuesdays and Thursdays.  Today they are having a jumping house which he has been looking forward to since day one!!!  Tomorrow they are going to the zoo.

I don't know what I will do once camp ends on July 9th.  I have to find something to keep him busy.  Then it will be time to get them ready for school.  Right now, SumFun is having a great influence on him!  I can't say enough about this camp, the counsellors, and the beautiful children!!
