Stories from the Forest -- Stories by a Counselor at a Camp for Children with Special Needs (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798223608905)

No matter how many years I go to camp, or who my campers are, one thing remains constant. I always leave feeling like something special was given to me, not the other way around. I take seriously the awesome responsibility I see behind the love and trust visible in the eyes of the campers. I can only hope they get out of camp at least a small percentage of what I do. I am not the same person who first stepped into that cub scout room almost 20 years ago. Because of the people, campers and counselors, on the pages of this story I am a better person. I have been taught the real meaning of courage, perseverance and unconditional love. I have been shown a standard I can only hope to one day live up to and I am deeply indebted to each of them for that.

This book traces 20 years of experiences at a camp for children with special needs. The camp accepts children with all levels of mental, physical and emotional handicapps.
