Does anyone know of a camp for kids with Lyme or is this something that should maybe be looked at? I would like to be able to get my son together with kids from a wide area that are going through the same things. What do you guys think?

Betty's POSTING GUIDELINES
When you post or reply, please break up your solid, continuous block text welcome to the board! many of us have neuro lyme where we can NOT read long solid block text and be able to comprehend and read it as is.
please edit your post by CLICKING PAPER/PENCIL ICON to right of your name. that opens up BOTH subject line and body text.
now please break up your WORDY SENTENCES into one sentence paragraphs. Then hit ENTER KEY ``THREE`` after each paragraph; we need that space for comprehension.
if you are NOT a wordy person, you can do 2 or 3 total ok. do this for your entire post.
NOTE: you do NOT have to use "", just show the name of person you are responding to, and then type your comment.
IF you need to use "", PLEASE DELETE "BOLD" CODES so it's regular type text we read vs. the DARK, HARSH/PAINFUL BOLDING.
specifically, delete the first 4 characters of 2ND LINE of a ""
[QB] just delete these 4 characters, and BOLDING is GONE! my eyes will really appreciate that; it's one very bad side effect of my having lyme for 38.5 years!! xox
then go to left hand corner and mark box to receive ALL REPLIES, and click EDIT SEND
we thank you for helping us; otherwise, we will SOB, SCROLL ON BY, since we can't read to help you. If I see posts like this, I SOB them; to hard on me.

I'll bet if anyone had the energy, the Hole in the Wall Gang camps might welcome children with Chronic Lyme.
The original camp happens to be in my town, Ashford, CT, but there are a network of them now. They were started by Paul Newman, and are for kids with cancer or blood diseases I believe.
I have no energy to do this, but maybe someone else can? Even get a certain number of slots dedicated to Lyme children each season?
It is an amazing camp.

great suggestion tracy Posted by panhandlecg (Member # 18599) on :
Thanks for the reply's. I like the suggestion and will check with the camp. Energy is the key to most all things....I have lots of things I would like to do and still can't believe that I cann't go like I used to or multi-task. One of these days it'll come back. Thanks again.
