Changing Things Up This Week

For this week’s Cool Camp, we’re headed east about 50 miles. Why? Because we’re going to show you a very special camp for kids with special needs.  These children are facing serious illnesses and other physical, emotional and life challenges. 

Camp Twin Lakes offers a number of camps that specifically target one demographic.  I think my favorite one is called Camp Twitch and Shout which is for kids with Tourette Syndrome!  I really LOVE that name (I think it’s always important to have a sense of humor!)  But this week we’re going to focus on Camp To Belong because its focus is on reuniting siblings who have been separated by foster homes or adoptive parents. 

I’m headed to Rutledge, Georgia, tomorrow to shoot the stories that you’ll see on Friday! Bring a tissue, I guarantee you’ll need it.

And as always, if you know of a “cool camp” please send me an email:  mike.brooks@cbsatlanta.com
