Guest guest Posted April 23, 2001 Report Share Posted April 23, 2001 I have usedupmy " free " respite w/e so Elie will no be going in May. BUT - perhaps we could meet someplace? It is about an hour plus from our house. Where will you be coming from? I went for the interview for Camp Joy - loved the organization's head of medical - very level headed, REAL person. The exec was ........???? I am supposed tohear by Friday if I got the job - then I need toreally decide if I want it or go work at the prison, or keep the job I have, or become second wife to a rich potentate or win IWON, the lottery........ Just try not to be unimpressed by the cheap facilities in the dining hall - that is not where the money goes. Look at he buildings, the staff, the stables, the woods, theplaygound, t he walkways, the food person who makes kid happy food, the wide range of abilities of people present and the STAFF<STAFF<STAFF<. I wish I had a scanner o show you Elie's happy pictures from St. PAddy's Day w/e. He even agreed to wear a HAT!! And to give you an idea - his favorite staff member broght a cookie onster for Elie in case Elie forgo his own!!!! See me smile?? :~) :~0) Sara _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 23, 2001 Report Share Posted April 23, 2001 I have not heard of Camp Joy, Trisha will be going to Camp Baker in Chesterfield County, VA for day care during the summer through the MR waiver. The county also gives us one weekend 4 times a year at Camp Baker for respite care. We found a wonderful transportation company that picks her up in the mornings and brings her home in the evenings. We tested it out this past week by sending her to the day camp for the easter break and she did fine. Carol Trisha's Mom She isn't Typical, She's Trisha!

About 4 1/2 hours from Philly. I don't get respite weekends, LOL, so all the kids will be with me. We are staying in Philly for Sat. and Sun. and heading home Monday morning. I will check my maps and see if we pass you at any point. :-) Gail Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 25, 2001 Report Share Posted April 25, 2001 Just got my schedule for he w/e of May 11th - I am working56 hours fromFri-Sunday. So I guess I will not be seeing anyone - just work and bed. I guess I will seriously look for a full ime day job. Maybe civil service - in PA I hear that they are desparate for MH/MR case managers. Sounds like something I could deal wih. Only m-f, no nights, holidays, w/e.

Guest guest Posted May 7, 2001 Report Share Posted May 7, 2001 Hi Carol, It took me some time to come up with this info., but it pertains to camps. A group I belong to in VA Beach enjoys the Camp Easter Seals Camp. They run a program where the members of the group go. The whole family is included. The camp provides the meals and rooms are nice. They also provide " entertainment. " We have tie dyed shirts, been on canoe rides and more. They also do camp for the children only. Some I know have started sending their children for a week or two in the summer after experiencing the family camp. I don't know how close it is to you. You can reach them if you are interested at: Camp Easter Seals East, 20500 E. Seal Dr., Milford, VA 22514- 9730 (804) 633-9855 Attn: Devon.
