Attention RICSNT members
Shake-A-Leg Confidence is Cool Summer Camps
Shake-A-Leg is a non-profit organization that is hosting the 11th year of Confidence Is Cool Summer
Camps over six weeks in Newport this summer. It is open to eligible
campers, ages 7-17, who may have an interest in a week or more of
sailing, swimming, arts and crafts, mobility games and field trips- and
just having fun.
The Confidence Is Cool
camps are structured specifically to address the needs of children
disabled by spinal cord injury or other related neurological disorders.
Their staff to participant ratio is over 1:1, which provides a safe and
nuturing environment for the congenitally-disabled child or adolescent
to develop self-confidence. Shake-A-Leg provided scholarships for over
80% of last year's participants and worked with RIPTA to successfully
make their RIde Program available to parents with transportation
needs.
Shake-A-Leg
will be sending you a postcard to pass along to any interested
students. Information and applications for the sessions are also
available on their website -
www.shakealeg.org/ccc_kids. html or www.shakealeg.org/ccc_teens.html -- or by contacting their Program Director, Sarah Kirwin, at sarahk@shakealeg.org and 401-338-9881.
