Over the weekend of November 22-23, 2008, a camp for children with amputations was held in Live Oak, Florida, called Camp No Limits. The vision of Camp No Limits is to be the leading camp for young people with limb loss, and their families, in the United States and abroad and to be recognized for camper satisfaction, amputee education, peer support and age specific physical, recreational and social skill development.
At this time there is no other camp available for children with limb loss and their families with the therapeutic programs that Camp No Limits has to offer. Camp No Limits has developed a daily schedule of programs and events that are offered to campers and their families. Event opportunities vary depending on the camp location and season. Camp No Limits offers four programs in their daily schedule.
These include Education and Therapy, Sports and Recreation, Creative Arts and Music, and Evening Programs. Paul E Prusakowski and DeAnna M Clough both attended as volunteers to help out at the camp. A good time was had by all as the children enjoyed arts and crafts, kickball, tennis, baseball and many other outdoor adventures. For more information about this camp which is held in 5 locations throughout the United States, please visit their website at http://www.nolimitsfoundation.org/.
