Camp changed young Aaron’s life…
My name is Aaron. My first DSR Kids camp was when I was 10. I was scared.
But, I loved camp! I loved going on the sit ski and going fast.
I’m now 16 and I tell the scared little ones that it’s going to be alright, that they won’t be lonely and they’ll make heaps of friends.
I think everyone should go on camp. It is so much fun, I want to share it with people.”
Aaron learned valuable life skills on our camp that will help him become an independent adult. He wants to share that experience.
We need generous people like you to keep this camp running, so children like Aaron and his friends, have a chance to learn and grow through active play.
Will you please help?
