Sinai Chicago and KT’s Kids closed out the 17th season of Camp Schwab on Friday, August 19 at Douglass Park. The summer camp for children with disabilities hosted 40 campers for a fun-filled week of activities around the Chicagoland area. The camp, hosted by Sinai Chicago’s Schwab Rehabilitation and its longtime partner, KT’s Kids, started in 2003 to raise money for the children of the KidsRehab at Schwab program. The programs serves kids from infants to teenagers, many of who are low income or have been violently injured. The team includes dozens of volunteers, Schwab physical and occupational therapists who all work with kids to enable them to participate in all activities, regardless of their disability. The week kicked off Monday, August 15 in Lake Forest, Illinois for a day of adapted horseback riding. The campers continued the fun with events at Montrose Beach, Maggie Daley Park and the Museum of Science and Industry. The activities included flying kites, rock climbing, putt putt golf, beach games, and picnics and ended with fishing and a petting zoo in Douglass Park.
