Adam's Dream
Piacenti, Alexandria
Exceptional Parent, v41 n12 p16-19 Dec 2011
Growing up as a young girl, summer camp was a typical affair. Packed lunches kept cold with frozen freezer packs, seemingly endless slip n' slides, activities, games, contests. Every morning, the author was eager to wake up and head off to hours and hours of fun with friends and counselors. However, one may think the camping experience could not possibly be like a "real" camp, with so many children who have been labeled "physically incapable" to participate in normal camp activities. A summer camp where someone who has "differences" could have the same type of interactive fun as others is literally inconceivable. But through the vision, dream, and heart of one young man, Adam Petty, such a camp is now a reality. The author introduces Victory Junction Camp where campers enjoy the ability to have a week's worth of nonstop fun. Daily, Victory Junction Camp changes the lives of not only campers, but their families, volunteers, and visitors. This camp creates new accomplishments and discoveries for children that could not be found outside of it.
