“Camp Lighthouse has been a wonderful experience for Ashley!

For her the camaraderie, friendships and memories will be hers for a lifetime and for me, once more I realized that my true hopes and dreams for her hadn't gone anywhere. Thanks to the wonderful program and staff, provided by CLB, her experiences there have helped her grow right before my eyes. It's wonderful for her to have a place where there's no reason not to participate. The program's accommodations give her a chance to be in the majority, not the minority due to her disabilities. I think the hardest part for Ashley was camp ending!! Thank you CLB!!”
