DOWNHILL SKIING…PROSTHETIC OR NOT!

MINNEAPOLIS – Shriners Hospitals for Children® (SHC) – Twin Cities is hosting its annual Winter Camp Achieve on Saturday, February 4 at Afton Alps. Camp Achieve is a camp held for SHC – Twin Cities patients with limb deficiencies who may or may not use a prosthetic device on a day to day basis. The camp began as an opportunity for patients to be with other children having the same needs and abilities. Often, these patients are the only children in their community or school with an artificial limb. Camp Achieve gives the kids a place where they can be surrounded by other children who are just like them.

The objectives of Camp Achieve are simple…have fun, make new friends, share experiences, try something new, and build the confidence that you can do anything even if you have to make adaptations.
