Here are a few quotes from his summer. From a Dragonfly Camper with Autism - "Dragonfly Counselors are like a pack of wolves ... not because they're vicious, but because they look out for each other's kids." From another Dragonfly Camper with Autism - "You can make lots of friends at camp." From a Camper Parent - Still trying to put into workds the gratitude that I have for Dragonfly and their Autism Camp - "it is like water to a thirsty soul ... for a child that has not been allowed to drink from the public fountain of fun and games ... " Perhaps my favorite camper quote is "A year is too long to wait to go back to camp!!!" Sylvia - thanks for making such an amazing program!

I recently changed careers and now am working full time as an instuctional aid in the autism support class at a local elementary school. Thanks to my training at Dragonfly, I feel qualified to use the skills that I need to work with my students. Thank you Sylvia!

I've learned a lot about kids with autism over the last 2 summers - how to encourage FUN and a sense of independence outside of the educational setting (yay!). Sylvia and the great staff at Camp Dragonfly are the GREATEST! Volunteering as a camp counselor at Camp Dragonfly has been one of my best experiences as a Special Education teacher!
