Incredible Social Experience

My son Oliver is on the autism spectrum and has been attending Camp Angelfish since its inception. Cindy and Aileen have allowed the camp experience to change as Ollie has matured.

Many years ago it was about providing Oliver with a ‘life skills experience’ with his aide – working on his own self-care and getting an opportunity to try some sports that he would otherwise never have had access to in a nurturing, totally accepting environment.

It has evolved into an incredible social experience with Oliver, looking forward to the ‘dance boat’, participating in life skills/vocational activities by helping in the mess hall, and enjoying being part of a camp that has room for everyone – to grow – enjoy – share – to be who they are. B

Can we go back next year?

My daughter, Cayla, has been attending this wonderful camp since it first started. Cayla has thrived at this camp and tried daring things that she never would have attempted at home; she has gone tubing, she has mastered the zip line, and she has climbed a rock wall.

These experiences have boosted her self confidence and madde her realize just what she is capable of doing. Cayla’s two sisters have gone to camp with her for the last several years and it is the highlight of their summer.

When they come home from Camp Angelfish, their first question is “Can we go back next year?” From the fun activities, to the sing-a-longs, and the bonding experiences that all of the campers, companions, and staff experience, Camp Angelfish is a one of a kind place.

I Can’t Begin to Thank You

Kids in the pool” I can’t begin to thank you, Gina, Javier and everyone else for all the fun, teaching and loving care you’ve showed Andrew over the last year and a half; not to mention your willingness to permit Jack to participate on the mornings my wife had to work.

He is making great strides at school and has been mainstreamed into a regular Kindergarten class, with additional support services. The more we expose him to, the more he tries; the more he tries, the more he achieves; the more he achieves, the more he believes he can succeed.

Our journey is far from over, but I wanted you to know Angelfish has been an inspiration to us. Should you ever have an interested parent who wants to talk to a current or prior parent about the experience, please feel free to give them my name.”

Aquatic Therapy is Actually Fun

Fun“Aquatic Therapy is actually the first therapy that has been fun for my son. He looks forward to it and actually gets his exercise in without even knowing it.

He is very resistant about doing his exercise on land because it is so difficult for him. Through the aquatic therapy program he has even learned how to swim. This is an activity that he can participate in just like everyone else. It is the only sport he can do independently.

The instructors are wonderful.

The therapy is very individualized to your child’s specific needs.

They are very knowledgeable about your child’s therapy needs.

We love the aquatic therapy program and feel it is the best thing we ever did for our child.”
