Many years ago, when our son Tom was six, we were looking for a daycamp program that would allow him to do ordinary fun, summery things with typical peers - with the extra support he needed. Needless to say, there was nothing out there that was (1) reasonably close by; (2) reasonably priced; (3) fun; (4) supportive; (5) inclusive. After much complaining and moaning, I finally took the bull by the horns and approached our local YMCA to create such a program. Like most Y's, they were responsive and interested - and willing to give it a shot. We called the program Camp Outlook, and I wrote a few grants to get it up and running. Today, eight years later, it's still going strong. Here's the ad from the Ambler PA YMCA's brochure...
