Camp Inspire is a week-long, overnight camp that brings campers from 6 to 21 years old. Many of the kids suffer from respiratory illnesses and live with tracheostomies, ventilators or BiPAP machines.
Despite their illnesses, these kids come to enjoy a normal camp, according to Jerome Spinnato, co-chair of the Camp Inspire advisory board.
“We know when the kids come out they’re going to have a wonderful time,” Spinnato said.
Like many other camps, activities include basketball, tennis, swimming, a talent show, zip lining and more.
