Camp Achieve concluded on August 28^th and the rave reviews are still coming in. The Foundation hosted 45 campers, 10 more than previous years, at Camp Green Lane. Campers, counselors, and staff enjoyed a fun week of entertainment, sports, arts-n-crafts and games. Some of the highlights were a tennis and golf clinic, the climbing wall, and a surprise visit by the Philadelphia Phanatic!!! The campers baked their own personal pies with their counselors, canoed, swam, and created arts and crafts masterpieces to bring home.

New this year was a Fiesta where authentic music was played while the campers danced.  Sombreros, chili pepper beads and fiesta goodie bags were provided for each camper.   A conga line even made it through the group of campers and counselors. Crafts, bubbles, tattoos and a barbeque topped off the evening.

The annual talent show was once again a great hit and the talents were endless! Fantastic  support was shown for each and every one that participated. Campers sung, read poetry, danced, played instruments and even did impersonations of their favorite camp counselors. All in good humor, of course. 

Even with all the fun campers were able to get serious when nurses and neurologists spent time discussing their concerns and feelings about epilepsy. We were even able to incorporate epilepsy facts into our bingo game! And as the week progressed, campers shared experiences and information, gained independence, self esteem, and friendships which are the real blessings of Camp Achieve.
