In July Bethel Members volunteered to help rehab cottages at Shady Oaks for the third year.
The past two years we have completely remodeled two cottages and have repaired several others.
Shady Oaks Cerebral Palsy Camp is a parent owned and operated summer camp for children and adults
with disabilities located in Homer Glen, Illinois.
In the 1940's there were little or no services available for people with disabilities. Seeing this, a group of dedicated parents of children with Cerebral Palsy came together to form The Parents Association for Cerebral Palsy Children Inc. The Association purchased 30+ acres of land in Homer Township, Illinois in the hopes of building a summer camp which specifically served people with C. P. and similar disabilities. In 1947 this dream came to light with the opening of Shady Oaks Camp for Individuals with Cerebral Palsy. For the past 56 years, the dream of a few caring parents has survived through Shady Oaks.
The Parents Association is a not for profit organization which is dedicated to the welfare of individuals with Cerebral Palsy and similar disabilities. It is a inter-racial, non-denominational, charitable organization chartered by the State of Illinois.
