Camp No Limits Illinois 2026 - It’s hard to put into words just how much of an impact camp has on all of us. These photos and the pure joy you see gives you a small glimpse. But imagine living every day feeling different from everyone else. Looking different, not being able to do things the same, getting more exhausted more sweaty and easily frustrated because things are just harder. And having to notice the constant stares and questions. Every day of the year. Except for 3 days where you’re surrounded by peers and parents and mentors that get it. That have similar differences similar struggles so you get to be unrelentlessly yourself and not have to worry about those looks or stares or judgement or questions. It’s overwhelming and powerful and beautiful and hard and amazing. Char definitely felt this way and had difficulty at times but watching her open up and how much she’s grown since last camp was awesome. She got to be brave and try new things. Power through some struggles. And bond with other LL/LD kiddos. And we got to strengthen our bond exchange tips and nods of understanding with their parents. These children and parents are some of the toughest most grateful most amazing you will ever meet. What happened to Charlotte and the difficulties she will face the rest of her life because of it is so unfair. But it has given us this community, has deepened my Faith, and I know it’s made her, and definitely us, stronger because of it and for that I am so grateful. Thank you SO much to our family and other community that helped us be able to get to camp. For the volunteers and mentors that give so much time care and energy to make camp as amazing as it is. And to Mary Leighton for starting CNL over 20 years ago (with just 4 campers the first year). So lucky and so grateful! #charlottestrong #quadamputee #quadsquad #nolimits #campnolimits
