The Adventures of Jadon and Kalina: Camp Korey Family Weekend 2014

At the end of February we had the privilege of attending the third annual skeletal dysplasia family weekend at Camp Korey. This is a weekend we all anticipate with great joy. Jadon is always excited to go to Camp or do anything related to Camp Korey. Kalina knows she still has one more year until she can go to summer camp so the family weekend is especially exciting for her.

As always, the Camp Korey staff and volunteers arranged a lively, fun-filled weekend. We had fun doing crafts, singing songs, visiting with friends, creating an egg parachute (for an egg drop challenge) and more. Kalina even got me to dance on stage with her, her friend, her friend’s mom, and her a camp buddy for Stage Morning. Wow! Camp Korey is full of firsts.

We had a great Family Pal. Jadon and Kalina loved her. She also happened to be a trach trained nurse. Jadon and Kalina enjoyed spending time with her and Nurse Brenda during the parent activities.

Mother Nature didn’t disappoint us. Like the past two skeletal dysplasia family weekends, we had some snow. Not enough to get us stuck anywhere, but enough to make everything look beautiful and magical.

Jadon is eagerly anticipating summer camp. How many weeks until August 11?
