do you know a military parent who has a teen with a disability?

WOW—such a wonderful program to support a teen with a disability whose parent(s)

are serving in the military. Please share this information widely as there is

support for airfare included in the opportunity.

THANKS!

Northeast Passage is offering two Winter Adventure Camps in January 2012 for

teens with disabilities (both developmental/cognitive and physical) who have a

parent serving in the military. We received a grant for these camps in

collaboration with the University of New Hampshire’s ative Extension 4-H

Youth Development Programs.

The camps take place in the mountains of New Hampshire and will be filled with

exposure to outdoor winter sports and recreational opportunities. There is

transportation assistance available, including airfare, so we’d love to get the

word out around the country.
