Two camp opportunities this summer for families with dwarfism in the northeast, (plus the LPA national conference July 2-6.)

• Camp Come As You Are (CAYA) August 5-7
• Harbor Camps August 7-13 
  
  CAYA is our weekend camp experience for New England families with dwarf children, teens, and siblings and parents of all sizes at Camp Allen, in Bedford, New Hampshire. Families get to know each other by playing, eating and bunking together.  CAYA is designed for families with school-aged kids, but younger families are welcome as well.  First-timers can also just come for the day Saturday. CAYA offers a nightly campfire, playground, swimming pool, indoor games, jigsaw puzzles, crafts, basketball, kickball, gaga, biking, talent show, water balloons, whiffle ball and a camp store full of fun stuff. There are some pictures of prior camp years here (scroll down) and http://www.lpadistrictone.org/camp-caya.html.  Curious families can contact me to join a private Facebook group and feel free to contact me with questions, rickerruth@aol.com. 
  
  Harbor Camps will offer the first sleep-away camp in the northeast for kids with dwarfism, and their siblings (as well as average height kids who have dwarf parents.)  Harbor Camps will run a bus directly from CAYA  to Harbor Camps for families whose kids are doing both.  Harbor Camps is also looking for people from the LPA community who'd like to be counselors.  You can contact Nick the director and see photos of this beautiful camp through the website.  http://www.harborcamps.org/skeletal-dysplasia-camp
