A whole network of angels helps make this blog easier, and one of them is Tammy Eisenreich of both iTaalk and the Lucas County Board of Developmental Disability. She just sent along a whole bunch of links with information about financial help for disabled kids to attend summer camp.
First was a link from the Flying Horse Farms in Mt. Gilead, Ohio, a camp for children from 7-15 who can only attend camp with medical support, so that children with serious medical conditions can enjoy the camp experience. This camp is FREE OF CHARGE. They have camp experiences for individual kids and family camp times. For more information on how to apply and their special camp periods (for instance, one for kids with hematology and oncology needs, another for kids with heart conditions, etc.) see the link.
Here's the rest of Ms. Eisenreich's list:
