CYO Camp Rancho Framasa reaches out to include children with disabilities
At 10, Marissa Pate spashes in the swimming pool at Catholic Youth Organization Camp Rancho Framasa, smiling and squealing with delight as she plays amid the other smiling and squealing campers. On this picture-perfect afternoon, Marissa is the picture of contentment. It’s the dream moment that Nancy Pate has always wanted for her daughter, a child with autism whose disability often leads her to struggle to find her place in the world.(Page 1)
