Susan - and any others who may still be around,

While Shady Trails no longer exists, there ARE several other camps still in existence. Here in Dallas, for example, there is a twice-a-week camp called "Tricks for Talking" that is aimed primarily at very young children, ages maybe 5 - 10. Occasionally we'll get a teenager who attends, but by that time the needs are slightly different and support groups come into play more and more.

Shady Trails was a great place in it's day, but those days are probably gone forever. But what is still needed is PEOPLE to dedicate themselves to helping young people with stuttering. I've said this many times to many SLPs: Thank you SO MUCH for dedicating YOUR lives and YOUR careers to OUR cause. You have no idea how much good you are doing. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
