&lt;br /&gt;
Please join us to see how Impact100 SRQ is helping Foundation for Dreams provide enrichment for special needs children and making fun happen at Dream Oaks Camp 2.0!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Imagine your child has a chronic illness like spina bifida, cerebral palsy, downs syndrome, autism, etc. and you want your child to have every available opportunity including going to camp with counselors experienced in helping children like yours progress.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Dream Oaks Camp offers an inclusive, supportive camp environment tailored to the children's unique needs, providing specialized care and adaptive activities. Thanks in part to Impact100 SRQ, the redesigned administrative building will facilitate coordination and support for Foundation for Dreams' programs. It is ADA compliant for camper utilization and provides a space for fundraising, staff training and program coordination. The camp will also offer additional programming focusing on behavioral skills, social interaction, daily living activities, health and hygiene, and independence in the administration building.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Come see how our remodeling initiative &amp;quot;Dream Oaks 2.0: A New Chapter&amp;quot; is making life better for campers and their families. We will be exploring the property, so wear comfortable shoes. There is plenty of room so you are welcome to bring friends who may have an interest in Impact100 SRQ and/or family members. Dream Oaks Camp is way at the end of the road so keep going. There is plenty of parking.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you enjoy hiking...(Completely Optional)... Impact100 SRQ members are invited to stay after the Showcase to explore the Rye Wilderness nature trails which are very near the camp. Bring your lunch, your hiking shoes and a sense of adventure and enjoy old Florida nature at its best.&lt;br /&gt;
