Community Love

"I am continually inspired by the campers and staff at ILC to be courageous, try new ideas, think outside of the box, be accepting and be kind. One of the best moments was watching my son get caught on the flying trapeze. To see his hard work, dedication, patience and persistence (and all of the same qualities of the staff) resulted in a priceless moment. After a tough year at school, seeing him soar was amazing."
