The Story Of Camp At Idyllwild Pines
The Inspiration Of Camp At Idyllwild Pines
Meet Naiya. Naiya is a sweet girl with a big heart. She is sure to put a smile on your face. She has a beautiful singing voice. However, she isn't able to get all her thoughts out through speech. She is learning how to communicate by pointing at letters on a letter board (text-based AAC).
Her dad, Kelly, is the Director at Idyllwild Pines Camp & Conference Center. Their family lives on the camp property.
She has been through quite a few challenges with her health. This has limited her ability to get out in the world. It is hard for her to leave the house most days. Camp gives her a safe space where she can gain exposure to community.
The board of directors of the camp is passionate about helping provide opportunities for friendship, fun, and communication for nonspeaking autistic people like Naiya, and their families.
Thank you Idyllwild Pines Camp & Conference Center for opening up your property and for welcoming our community with open arms. Thank you for donating significant time and resources to help make this camp possible!
