Thank you! 💙

We are so grateful to the Inclusive Play: Toys for All program for their generous donation of adaptive toys and switches that help make play more accessible and engaging for the children we serve.

A special thank you to Drew D, who chose KSRA to receive the adaptive torys, Molly Erickson, Research Engineer at Marquette University, and Vladimir Bjelic from Penfield Children's Center, for their partnership and commitment to creating more inclusive play opportunities. Your generosity and dedication are making a meaningful difference, one child at a time.

The heartfelt thank-you cards created by our participants say it best, we appreciate you! 🩵

What an amazing way to wrap up Camp Maple Leaf! 💙🍁

For our final week, we traveled to Shabbona for a fishing derby where campers enjoyed fishing, boating, petting animals, playing games, and spending time outdoors! 🎣🚤🐐 We ended camp with an incredible talent show, where our campers took the stage and showed off their unique talents. 🌟🎤

Thank you to all of our campers, families, and staff for making this summer so special. We are so proud of every camper and all the unforgettable memories we made together!

Now, we are excited to kick off Camp Posability today! 💙

💙 A.R.I.S.E. Recap! 💙

Another week full of growth, creativity, and connection! 🌱🎨✨

This week, our A.R.I.S.E. participants got their hands dirty caring for our garden, expressed their creativity through beautiful artwork, spent time out in the community, and shared countless laughs with friends along the way.

They also proudly performed in the Camp Maple Leaf Talent Show, using sign language to "You've Got a Friend in Me" from Toy Story! Every activity is an opportunity to learn something new, build confidence, and make lasting memories.

We're so grateful for the smiles, kindness, and positive energy our participants bring each day. Thank you for making A.R.I.S.E. such a fun and welcoming place to learn, grow, and thrive! 💙

Here's to another amazing week of friendship, creativity, and adventure! 🌼
