Second Annual Camp for Children and Teens with MS
  On
August 9th 2008, 26 participants came together from across Canada
and the United States to gather at Easter Seals Camp Merrywood
in Perth, Ontario for the second annual Summer Camp Adventure
for children and teens with MS. At Merrywood campers are given
the opportunity to step away from some of the stresses associated
with a diagnosis of MS and meet others who share similar experiences.
During the seven days spent at Merrywood camp participants
took part in a wide range of activities that included white water
rafting on the Ottawa River, an overnight out trip, canoeing
through the Rideau Canal, kayaking, pottery, a talent show, organic
candle making, a song writing workshop, archery and bocci. On
the final night campers enjoyed a banquet and dance on the banks
of Big Rideau Lake to conclude a week filled with fun, adventure,
new friendships and lasting memories.
You too can share in the experience with photos from
