Some of our most cherished summer memories aren't just about the activities we did; they're about the people we shared them with.

For many people with disabilities, access to those experiences isn't always guaranteed. That's why inclusive summer camps and recreation are so important. They create opportunities to try new things, build confidence, develop skills, and form meaningful connections that can last far beyond the summer season.

In our latest blog, we highlight how UCP's adaptive and inclusive recreation programs are helping children and adults with disabilities find adventure, friendship, and a true sense of belonging.

The love parents have for their kids with disabilities is a fierce one.

It rages under the threat of exclusion.
It swells with each small victory.
It despairs under the weight of fear.
It grows with each passing day.
It moves steps ahead so they don’t get left behind.
It pushes against injustice.
It roars of their worth.

We tire, tire of advocating, tire of doctor and therapy appointments, tire of planning for their future even though the future is still so far.

&- our love does not.

It is always beating, it is always planning, it is always acting.

This is a reflection of what the Divine has given us through this unexpected life and how we have changed through these children we get to cherish.

Our children with a disabilities have grown our hearts and the capacity to love and to love well.

&- we are undone.
&- we are remade.
&- we are grateful for this fierce kind of love.
