New MDA camp policy: No crip counselors allowed.
Wichita, KS -- Segregated camps for kids with disabilities have been a sore point with some disability activists. Others, though, have pointed out the value of having crip kids hang for a few weeks with young adults -- volunteer camp staff -- who themselves have disabilities. Many organizations such as Easter Seals and MDA have run camps using former campers as staff, which can make for a rewarding experience for everyone.
