The owners of Adventure in Camping have always felt that camping is the best way for families to connect. Everyone’s schedules are so hectic that family time is often ignored because of TV’s, cell phones, business, homework, etc. But when a family goes camping, the entire time is family time! Sitting around the campfire. Cooking the meals. Setting up camp. Watching the stars. Just being with each other.
And the person that gets the most out of family time is the child who is different. Because everyone in the family understands that person, but is too preoccupied to spend that quality time with them, they will reconnect with that special person when on a camping trip.
During the camping trip, that special person is just another member of the family and will get more out of camping than anyone else.
So here’s how Adventure in Camping can help.
During the Spring and the Fall, Adventure in Camping has many trailers that sit unoccupied. We still have drivers and housekeepers, but generally business is slower during the shoulder seasons.
We offer a few of these trailers to families with a developmentally disabled or physically handicapped child during these shoulder seasons, free of charge. We will park the trailers for the family in the campgrounds closest to our storage facility; Convict lake, Shady Rest, French Camp at no additional charge. The family must still pay for and obtain the campsite, as our permit with the Forest Service does not allow us to handle this part of the rental.
All that we ask is that the family brings the handicapped child with them and enjoy the time they have together.
Remember, camping is not for everyone. Some people are not comfortable outside of their normal surroundings. We understand that. If the trip is planned for a specific time and that special person doesn’t like it, give us a call. We understand and will pick up the trailer.
Some people think that this is an unusual offer, especially given the complicated world we live in. A person that has experienced this special time is Father Joe Greeley, who has generously agreed to speak on our behalf to insure families that we are sincere about this offer. If you have questions, feel free to give him a call or email him at 562-634-6111 or email him at stpanpastor@sbcglobal.net. His office hours are M-T:8-8, F:8-6, & Sat & Sun:9-7. If you email him, please reference Adventure in Camping in the subject line.
Or give our office a call and let us help you plan your next family outing.
We hope to see you in Mammoth.
