For several years our eldest daughter has had the privilege of attending Zajac Ranch for Children. For those of you who don't know, it is an amazing place where kids of any age, with any disability or any medical issue are cared for and welcome. Having a daughter with epilepsy has been stressful but we have never worried about her at Zajac Ranch. In fact it was one of the few places where our daughter could be without us and we would feel confident. The camp counsellors, the nursing and administrative staff are all so in tune with children who need extra care. And while there the kids can swim, kayak, climb high ropes, ride horses, do crafts and archery, sing, dance and just be kids at camp. What a special place!
We have been extra blessed by having the kind folks at The Center for Epilepsy and Seizure Education in B.C. help with our daughter's camp fees. Not only have these nice people given us encouragement to participate in Purple Day events, giving us seizure information brochures and other educational items to hand out but they have made it financially possible for our daughter to attend camp. We are so appreciative!
As you can imagine there are not many benefits to having epilepsy but getting to know the generous people at Zajac Ranch and ESEBC are definite advantages. They are caring, compassionate folks who love children and want to see disabled kids have all the fun that typical kids do. They now have opened the camp to young adults with disabilities. And so our daughter arrived home today, tired but happy and full of stories of all the fun she had and the new people she met this week. It is a gift that she will carry with her always: happy memories of summer camp.... Thank you!
