 | | Peg Smith believes strongly that summer camp may be the one time each year when, for a week or two or longer, a child with disabilities, with special needs, is not categorized and regarded according to his or her disabilities. |
 | | Smith, “Foundations and organizations are sponsoring camps and specializing in providing services to families and special needs children.” Celebrities, among them actor Paul Newman with his Hole-in-the-Wall camps, and NASCAR driver Richard Petty, also operate camps for children with special needs, she notes. |
 | | Camp CAMP was established in 1979 to provide recreational, rehabilitative, educational, and respite services for children with developmental disabilities and their families. |
