Cole is a shining example that embodies the transformative impact of our programs, and the vital role your support plays. Cole is a remarkable young participant with autism and speech delays, who first joined us at Outdoors for All in the summer of 2016.

“Throughout his 8 years of camp and thanks to many friendly, positive, patient counselors, Cole has learned social skills and has become more engaged with others in group activities. He has learned to answer questions and engage in group games like parachute activities and frisbee. Camp has not only taught Cole how to rock climb, kayak, and sail, but has given him the opportunity to engage with age-appropriate peers in a friendly guided environment. He has learned to have more flexibility which has helped him be successful in all areas of life outside of camp!”- Charmaine, Cole’s Mother
