Eric %u2018RicStar' Winter Music Therapy Camp

Details:
A camp that welcomes individuals of all ages with special needs as well as their siblings. The camp honors 12-year-old Eric Winter, a seven-year music therapy client from DeWitt who had cerebral palsy and passed away in 2003. The 2009 camp will conclude with the Be-a-Star Showcase on Sat., June 13, at 1:30 p.m. The Showcase is open to the public and will take place in the Community Music School auditorium. In a letter to camp director Cindy Edgerton, one parent wrote: "This is what our government, schools, and society need to see and embrace. People with special needs are just that--they have special needs, but have the same personal and interpersonal needs as healthy individuals. We need a more accepting society and you have built this and it continues to grow every year touching more and more who can go out and share this need. Thank you for all you do."
