The event took place at Greystone Manor's Facility in Upper Leacock Township. Both organizations stated that the main mission of the event was the enhance the lives of children and teens with disabilities.
"You see those smiles for the first time you know they're enjoying it, you just open their eyes to a brand new experience and I think that's so special," said Stephanie Fleck the Program Director at Greystone Manor.
The camp aims to help kids get out of their comfort zones by trying new experiences. A similar event will happen again on July 26.
