Sunshine School Goes to Camp
Sunshine School once again closed out the school
year by spending a week at camp. Sixty-three people –
students, family members, staff – enjoyed boating on
a nearby lake, exploring a medieval castle, games, good food
and fellowship and time together in the word of God. This
is a very special time for families who do not have the means
to travel with their disabled child and gives teachers, parents
and staff time to know one another better.
Here in her words Sunshine School teacher, Simona Liionione,
describes camp.
“We had a great time at camp. I
was the ‘companion’ for my student (and Darius
House child), Bianca. She was so calm and happy to just
play in the grass and pick flowers. It was a big encouragement
for Matei, my teaching assistant, and I to talk to the parents
at camp because through their eyes we were able to see how
much progress has been made over the year and how much they
appreciate what we are doing for their child. In addition
to having time to talk with families we enjoyed special
activities every morning including going in a boat on the
lake (the favorite activity for Darius) or a visit to the
castle. We had organized games but also time just to relax
together by the lake.
All the parents were so satisfied seeing
their children in the middle of nature, being happy and
enjoying things like other children can. We had wonderful
weather. Our Heavenly Father took care of everything and
gave us such a happy time together to close out our school
year.”
