My Y Story 
Heather Bors

This is our first time at Mountain Mist Adaptive Camp. Our boys are twin six year olds with Autism. We were very anxious about sending the boys to an all day camp but the counselors have been exceptional to say the least. Carolyn Daniels and her adaptive team are amazing.

Pam checks in with me throughout the day with pictures and updates and puts all my worries to rest. Bailey,  Katie and Austen are all very experienced and it’s obvious they genuinely love what they do. If I reach out to Carolyn or her staff with a question they quickly answer me. The staff is very accessible.

The amount of relief I feel to know the boys are in a safe, stable environment and are really enjoying it is indescribable. My boys come home every day tired and happy!

I can’t say enough about the staff and the entire program. I am very impressed and so happy we found this program.
