Camp Wrap Up

Thursday was Eric's last day of camp. On Wednesday they brought up concerns about Eric in regards to the overnight at the campground. He was not listening to the staff as well as they would have liked. He would not stay with the group and just wanted to do his own thing. This brings up too many safety concerns outdoors at a camp ground, especially in an unfamiliar place without mommy around. They and I agreed it would be best that Eric did not do the overnight trip this year. It would have been a nice experience for him, but he's not ready for that right now. I felt much better with him at home sleeping in his bed, especially after reading about the teenager on the spectrum that drowned after he took off at a campground in NY (yeah, I need to be careful what I read.). Anyhow, they said he just wanted to play on the playground all day. I believe that. Here he is on Thursday

For his last day they let him hang outside all day. I thought that was pretty cool. Yeah, I know it don't help with the other issues but they said they want to make this a positive memory for him.


Eric with the tent he got for participating. He got it early since he didn't attend the overnight. Don't know if it will ever be used, but it was a very nice gesture. Maybe some day. He really did play hard on that playground, he so needed a bath when he got home.
