Muscular Dystrophy Camp
Camp Description
- Camp Waskowitz, nestled in the foothills of the Cascades 45
minutes east of Seattle in the town of North Bend, is a special place
where young people with muscular dystrophy and related neuromuscular
diseases can experience fun and friendship in the outdoors.
- MDA supports a nationwide network of free summer camps offering
a wide range of activities especially designed for campers with
limited mobility. These include swimming, arts and crafts, talent
shows, dances, soccer, baseball, campouts, sing alongs, fishing and
other outdoor sports.
- Each day is filled with exciting and fun things to do that give
campers an opportunity to develop new friendships, share interests,
build self-confidence and create memories that will last a lifetime.
- DO-IT offers basic electronic mail and World Wide Web sessions
for all campers. Those who especially enjoy computing work in a team
with a DO-IT mentor to put the camp activities on-line in a camp home
page. Older campers can choose to attend a college transition chat to
get the friendly advice and hear the war stories of DO-IT Ambassadors
and Interns who are on campus at the University of Washington.
