🤠🐴💙 What an unforgettable three days at KNJ Summer Camp! 💙🐴🤠

This video captures just a few of the special moments that made this camp so meaningful—new friendships, big smiles, growing confidence, and memories that will last a lifetime. 🌟

Our campers spent their days horseback riding, dancing, creating art, learning new skills, and most importantly, having fun in an inclusive and welcoming environment.

A heartfelt thank you to our incredible volunteers, families, and the team at KNJ Therapeutic Ranch for making this experience possible. Your dedication, kindness, and support helped create a space where individuals of all abilities could shine. 💙

At DSCEP, we believe every individual deserves opportunities to connect, grow, and thrive—and this camp was a beautiful example of that mission in action.

Thank you for helping make this summer one to remember! 🐴✨

Nuestros participantes disfrutaron de paseos a caballo, baile, arte, nuevas experiencias y, sobre todo, de mucha diversión en un ambiente inclusivo y acogedor.
