Note: At least one parent needs to accompany Aldous on the plane ride out of state and to remain in the area for the week as there are no regional friends or family that available to be contacted in case of an emergency.
These are the estimated costs based on 2009 expenses.
Thanks to the generosity of so many supporters (whose donations ranged from $15 to $200), we were able to raise a little more than half of the needed funds after expenses (website registration, donation keepsakes produced and sent). In addition, Aldous was able to secure a scholarship (which may no longer be available) and after many many hours of overtime and careful saving, we made it to camp!
