Special Olympics

April 11th, was the state Special Olympics basketball tournament in Oshkosh. The Able Church has two teams, in which one of them made it to the state tournament.........and won first place!  Coaches included Roger Wied, Bill Woods and Camp Daniel's Nick Sterry and Interns Betty Miller and Evan Hartwig.

The Attack is the only church team in the state of Wisconsin, possibly the only church team in the nation. It offers a great opportunity The Able Church to represent Christ in the disability community, as well as, to get The Able Church and Camp Daniel name out there.  It also provides opportunities for the athletes to learn to work together as a team and learn how put into practice what they learn at The Able Church.

Papa Tony's 75th Birthday!

On March 26th, Papa Tony turned 75! Family and Camp Daniel staff celebrated with a "surprise" party at the Hartley House. Grandma Jo made Papa's favorite pasta dinner and Annissa made a cake, beautifully decorated with a variety of berries.















It was also Papa Tony's granddaughter, Molly's, birthday and they were able to celebrate together.

Since all the grandchildren were together, it was a great time to get a picture!
