It's difficult for a traditional camp to provide expensive medical support or a specially trained staff. Too often, kids with a diagnosis stay at home all summer and miss out on the independence, confidence, and friendships that other children find at an overnight summer camp.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDragonfly Forest was established to provide a week of summer camp to children with autism or special medical needs. Located in Eastern Pennsylvania, this program has a 24-hour medical team, specially trained counselors, and an array of activities. All kids attending Dragonfly Forest can ride the zip line, roast marshmallows, go swimming and laugh with their new friends! Their program is donation supported—allowing children of all socioeconomic backgrounds to attend. Families of children with autism or other medical needs already have to bear the high cost of medical bills, support staff, and individual therapy for their children. Additional funding is needed to give financial assistance to kids who need it most.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e You can help. \u003c\/strong\u003e Just $15 covers the cost of food for one child at one day of camp.

Over 14,000 firefighters are battling 30 significant fires just as mid-August. The destruction and threat to life and livelihoods is huge and sobering.
