1Many of us have memories of spending weeks at camp learning new things, making new friends, and exploring new possibilities. Camp No Limits provides the empowering camp experience for kids whose differences can feel like an obstacle (障礙) in traditional camp settings. Camp No Limits proves that there is no reason limb（肢）differences should take away from the fun!

2Established in 2004, Camp No Limits provides sleep-away camps for children with limb differences at 11 different locations.“When I was in school, we really had a very limited amount of time that was spent discussing individuals with limb differences,”said founder Mary Leighton.

3Camp No Limits has now reached over 1400 children in 1200 families. The families are a vital part of the Camp No Limits vision. Kids are often accompanied by family members who stay at the camp. Members of support systems are able to form relationships with other families in the community. One of the greatest impacts of Camp No Limits is forming a network of families who can rely on each other.

4“There are other kids out there, but depending on what circles you travel, you just don't see them that often,”said Rosanne, who accompanied her 12-year-old daughter to camp.“It's a good opportunity for her to meet some other kids, and talk about, you know,what they're going through. It's just good mentally.”With the assistance of passionate instructors, campers often leave Camp No Limits with new skills.8-year-old Anya, for example, left camp being able to ride a bike again, which she hadn't done since losing her left leg to cancer.

5Camp No Limits is making a great impact on every individual that it hosts. From the instructors who are developing skills, to the campers who are feeling inspiration, Camp No Limits achieves its mission to empower and connect individuals affected by limb differences.
