For one week a year, children with neuromuscular diseases get to laugh and play like other children and live in a place where their disabilities bring them together, not set them apart. This place is MDA Summer Camp, located at Camp Arrah Wanna in beautiful Welches, Ore.
Since 1955, MDA has been providing weeklong summer camps for children ages 6 to 21 living with neuromuscular diseases. Campers have the opportunity to make lasting friendships with other campers and their counselors.

Some of the interactive camp activities include:
· Swimming
· Softball
· Basketball
· Arts and crafts
· Ropes course
· Video games
· Face painting
· Water guns and balloons
· And many, many more
The camp allows the children to float in the water and swim around for potentially the first time ever.
For these children, this is their time. This is the week of their lives.
