Mr. Speaker, I rise today to commend MedCamps for 23 years of outstanding service in the State of Louisiana. Founded in 1987, MedCamps of Louisiana provides a summer camp experience to children with physical and mental disabilities such as spina bifida, cerebral palsy, autism, and epilepsy. Each week, free of charge, children come from across Louisiana to participate in a week- long, fun-filled camping experience at Camp Alabama in my district. Children participate in activities such as fishing, arts, crafts, nature hikes, canoeing, and many others. As a family physician for over 30 years, I know firsthand the important role that organizations such as MedCamps play in the lives of children with disabilities. I congratulate MedCamps on their outstanding service to our State and wish them all the best as they continue to serve the children of Louisiana. ____________________
