Summer Camp
 ARE
YOU READY FOR THE SUMMER?

Our 4th annual summer camp was held this year at North Charleston Elementary School
(near Park Circle in North Charleston). We held the first ever summer camp in 2006 at Mt. Pleasant Presbyterian Church and served 14 children By our third year in 2008,
we needed to expand our services to children in Summerville. So we split our sessions up and held one
session Mt. Pleasant Presbyterian Church and another one at Bethany United Methodist Church of Summerville. in 2009 44 children from around the
Lowcountry participated in very active days of physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, and field
trips for 5 weeks. Without the love and support of these two churches, their gratious congregations and
their dedicated staff, we would not be where we are today. They opened their doors and their hearts and gave us
a start and we will forever be grateful.
We have more pictures from past camps than
we can ever show you. You can check out our busy 09 schedule for yourself and
pictures from our 2009 camp.
As in past sessions, we partnered with, collaborate and share resources from the following
organizations. They have worked with us to provide the best for these children and will continue to be a part
of our organization as we grow.
-
MUSC PT, OT, CSD students and faculty – Your
involvement is critical to the success of our camp. Students from MUSC come to camp to
observe and participate with the children in order to gain hands on experience working with
children of multiple and severe disabilities.
-
Rein and Shine Staff and Volunteers – As in the
past, we will again be using Rein and Shine for our therapeutic riding and hippotherapy needs
during camp. They are willing to go above and beyond what is expected.
-
Pattison’s Academy Board Members – Your support has always been overwhelming.
-
Mount Pleasant Presbyterian Church – The graciousness
you exhibited by letting Pattison’s Academy use your wonderful facility was only surpassed by your
hospitality and support. What a wonderful church with wonderful people!

The Rural Transporation Management Association (Tri County Link)– A very professional group of
people who far exceed our expectations year after year concerning our transporation needs.

Bethany United Methodist Church of
Summerville - The staff and the members of the church made us feel very
welcome. This very generous church is also starting a Sunday program for children with special

willingness to visit us.

Stella Nova - Everyone who came was so wonderful to our
campers and did a great job to make sure that every child got a great little spa treatment and
felt pampered. We could tell you really enjoyed what you were doing and the children enjoyed
it even more.
