TESTIMONIALS

Camp Sue Osborn means putting yourself on a back burner and opening your heart to the most loving children this world has ever seen.

Camp Sue Osborn is so much fun because of how much the campers enjoy it.  It gives these kids with special needs the chance to do all the things other kids do at camp.  They smile and laugh all week long.  Our staff strives to make every activity possible for each camper, no matter what the disability.  Over the years I have seen my own students make social and communication gains due to Camp Sue. The best part is the lasting friendships derived from camp.  Campers as well as staff make lifelong friendships at camp.  Many staff members have returned year after year for over 10 years!

I loved camp because it was one of the highlights of my summer for many years. I loved coming to Camp Sue every summer because I loved hanging out with old friends and making new friends each year.

What I like about Camp Sue is the true colors that the children show. They are real and make me have compassion and wanting to serve them. The special needs that Camp Sue holds allows me to be humbled, and I leave camp more blessed than I did at the beginning of the week.

Camp Sue Osborn to me is a camp that special needs children can go out and have fun. It is a camp that I looked forward to every year. You get to meet new people and they get to know you. My favorite activities were the talent show and seeing how kids grew up year to year. This camp is really special to me and I know that many generations of kids will enjoy it as well as I did.

I love camp because it is almost like the great equalizer – no one is different there. It gives kids a chance to experience things that might not have otherwise had a chance to do. Camp is a collection of good people in the world. It is also a full of people who only goal in life is to have the best time they possibly can.
