CAMP CRAIG ALLEN WAS FOUNDED!

9 years ago today Camp Craig Allen was founded becoming a 501(c) 3 organization! Within those 9 years there have been good, bad, joyful, and sad times. We are all hoping for the main goal which is to start building Camp Craig Allen! Giving everyone with a physical disability the opportunity to be able to experience things that we thought were going to be impossible! I can hardly wait!

I was not a founding board member, however I did become one shortly after it was founded. In Sep 2007 as my friend Dawn Cruzan, Pres. of Camp Craig Allen, and I were catching up as we had not seen each other in a while when she passed me a business card and told me to go look up the website to see what she has been up to. So that is what I did! I was so taken back by what was happening, and got teary eyed! From that moment forward I definitely wanted to help out where I could, and be a part of this organization! So if for some reason this is the 1st time you have been on this blog, and would like to check out the website you can do so at http://www.campcraigallen.org! This is my hearts passion, and I not only love being part of this board but also being part of the Camp Craig Allen family! I have met some amazing people, and have done some amazing things because of Camp Craig Allen! I am enjoying being your blog writer, and thank you for reading! 

Rolling on, Stephanie

 

Mason Thornton will be missed:(

This is a sad time for our Camp Craig Allen family. We have suffered great loss, and because of that we are sad:( Mason Thornton was a 21 year old gentleman with a great sense of humor and a wit that just kept on going! He had mad rapping skills, and would go by the name “lazy legs!”  This is where he found his niche by using that skill with his family, friends, and people around the world with his videos via YouTube!  Mason had a physical disability known as Duchenne muscular dystrophy.

In lieu of flowers Mason’s family have asked that a donation be given to his favorite charity, Camp Craig Allen.  Also, for those wanting details about the visitation and funeral you can go to the memorials webpage: http://www.campcraigallen.org/memorials

Our prayers of peace and comfort go out to all of his family and friends!

Not to take anything away from Mason, but I just want to get on my soapbox for just a second and say that this is a lot of the reason why we (as some also with a physical disability) need such a place as Camp Craig Allen!
