Send Madison Tibbetts to Camp Royal
Hi, I am Madison Tibbetts. Most of you know me as Auden or Madi. Most of you also probably know that I am Autistic. For me, this means that I have some social and sensory issues.
This Spring I have been volunteering with a wonderful organization called Camp Royall, a facet of the Autism Society of North Carolina. Camp Royall is a camp designed for kids and adults with Autism. It's designed to be just like any other summer camp, except it accomodates Autistic people. They have so many cool things like a zipline, a AMAZING sensory room, an EXCITING climbing pyramid, a pool, a gym, and a playground! I have loved my time volunteering there so I decided to apply to be a camper this summer!
They have a "lottery" system where everyone who applies has a chance of getting it, though it can be difficult for some of the busier weeks. But, I GOT IN!!!!!
I was accepted into the "high-functioning teens" week!!!
Going to Camp Royall is my dream. It would be like Heaven on earth for me because this world is not designed for people like me, but camp IS!!!
The only problem about this dream is even though we recieved a scholarship from the program, we still cannot afford for me to go to camp.
It costs $1700 to go to Camp Royall. I got a scholarship for $1190. The application fee is $25. The fees that GoFundMe will take out will be a little over $50, so:
585 - 50 - 25 - 510 =$0
I would really apprechiate your help in making this dream come true for me! I really want to go to Camp Royall.
