Patricia Finkley assisted her daughter in the participation of Gadget Camp during the last week of June. Gadget Camp was a week long, day camp held at Butler University put on by the INDATA Team at Easter Seals Crossroads to give students with disabilities a chance to grow and have fun at a week of summer camp. Miata, Patricia’s daughter, and nine other children were able to learn about communication and social skills, along with making valuable friendships throughout the week.
“This was our first time doing something like Gadget Camp, and we loved it!” Patricia said after the completion of Gadget Camp. She was happy to see the growth in Miata’s communication and social skills throughout the week. Volunteers at Gadget Camp saw improvement in Miata’s communication skills, and by the completion of Gadget Camp Miata was able to more easily use her communication device effectively.
Patricia also made a point to let everyone know that Miata had fun and made new friends during the week at Gadget Camp. Some of her favorite activities during the week were fishing and singing camp songs.
That is so wonderful to hear! Who knew that making a difference could be so much fun?
