Thankfully, my son insisted we go to Camp Bernie!

I have to admit, my 11-year-old gets all the credit for making sure our family made our first New Jersey Center for Tourette Syndrome Family Retreat Weekend at YMCA Camp Bernie.

From the moment he heard about the camp, he was insistent that we would go. The camp did not disappoint, for my son it was an opportunity to feel free of being the only kid in the room with tics. For my other kids, it was a fun camp experience. And for me, it was a chance to share and laugh with other parents who truly do understand.

Thanks to the great NJCTS staff and all who added to this great event!
