CONNOR: "I'm 18 years old, and I like everything about the camp. I like arts and crafts and the water slide and swimming. Swimming is my favorite. It's fun."
NOAH: "It's my birthday today. I'm 14. I think I'm going to have a birthday cake today. Chocolate. And I think I'm going to have ice cream too. My mom's going to get me a Super Mario Maker. I like to play video games. I have 4 dogs too. One of them is named Burrito. He's not that big. The others are big, but not Burrito."

From the Camp Able website:
Camp Able serves youth with a variety of challenges, ranging from cerebral palsy and Down syndrome to autism. With a 1:1 counselor/camper ratio, each camper will have the opportunity to experience all camp activities, including low ropes course, swimming, canoeing, exploring nature, arts and crafts and worship.
“Camp Able focuses not on what a camper can’t do, but what he or she CAN do,” says Camp Director John Dreyfus. “St. Columba is a great fit for Camp Able, not only because of what our campus offers, but also because of the West Tennessee diocesan network that gives us access to an extensive and generous support system as well as many enthusiastic volunteers that will make it an unforgettable week for these special campers.”
Camp Able is located at the St. Columba Episcopal Conference & Retreat Center, 4577 Billy Maher Rd.
