The camp is open to children with physical disabilities and their families. Following last years Camp WACK, one grateful parent said ”The Camp WACK experience was wonderful for our son and our family. Ever since we moved to Indiana, we wanted him to participate in sports and not always have to be a spectator. Being part of Camp WACK helped him learn new skills, build confidence, and become more independent. He also learned to socialize and develop friendships. We are thankful to have this new event in the Lafayette area. Camp WACK enabled our son to enjoy accomplishments that were never possible for him before. Thank you for making our son’s life more challenging and exciting!”Skis are specially equipped to allow skiers to sit and ski. Outriggers provide balance and stability to insure a rewarding and positive ski experience. A variety of games and activities will also be available for the campers on shore while they wait their turn to ski. Campers will be given preference as to which day, July 9th or 10th, they prefer. All attempts will be made to accommodate your request. Cost: $20 per child Participants can also enjoy free grilled hamburgers and hotdogs, boat rides, and the chance of a life-time to soar on top of the water. Directions: Lake Harner near the intersection of State Rd. 25 and Highway 52 West in Lafayette, IN. Contact Information: Any questions or RSVP’s please contact Patrick Dean at HYPERLINK “mailto:pdean@rhin.com“pdean@rhin.com or call 317-329-2281.
