Contact Wolfe school (the special needs school) and they might know. http://wolfe.ucps.k12.nc.us/
Kristi K. replied:
When you get a good list together would you provide it for our FB group - UCPS Exceptional Children. Anyone with a child with a disability can join us as well. https://www.facebook.com/groups/588041517961065/

http://www.fsnenc.org/2015-summer-camp-directory This is a resource of camps for children with special needs through the Family Support Network. Doesn't look like there is anything in Union County but perhaps in a neighboring county. Good luck!
Any suggestions of a Horseback riding camp for my 9 yr old Daughter? Thanks!

My daughter is also 9 and will be going to camp at Fox Point Farm. She is also starting lessons there. Charlotte is fantastic with kids and the horses they have are the tamest horses I have ever seen!

My 7 yr old daughter did 2 weeks of camp at Carolina Country Acres last summer and loved it! She's been asking to go back all year and just tonight I told her I was considering letting her go again and she said she would clean the cats litter box and match socks all year long if she could go again!! She's going to go this year, but I may not tell her just yet... let's see what else I can get out of her

We love Red Barn at Larkspur https://www.facebook.com/pages/Redbarn-at-Larkspur/99701932571?fref=ts
Fox Point Farm, Henry Harris Rd right over the line. http://foxpointfarm.com. Get the Waxhaw equestrian Magazine. Most of the barns are listed. Probably can't go wrong with any of them!!! good luck
Can anybody near the Waxhaw NC area recommend a good body repair shop. I hit a deer on my way home from camp and my SUV is banged up. :(. I now have self diagnosed...
Deborah M. replied:
I'm so sorry Cindy. If we are self-paying we go to Eddie's on Rocky River Road. We have used him many times on all four of our vehicles. He does a good job and is very reasonable. If someone else's insurance is paying, I would go to Griffin Motor Company's Collision Center in Monroe. They are excellent but they are also expensive.

James at Waxhaw Collision
Susan M. replied:
Matthews Township Collision on Monroe Road. Any kind of accident is upsetting. I'm glad you are okay. Take it easy.
Lynne E. replied:
Caldwell Collision
Heather C. replied:
We used Certified Collision Service in Matthews. They did a great job, and did more than we requested. They buffed the paint on the whole truck, and polished up the headlight lenses, just because the truck was old and the new paint looked better than the old. http://www.certifiedcs.com/
SOOO sorry! Smith's Body Shop in Stallings is the ONLY place I have ever taken any of my cars or trucks - should only take you about 20 minutes to get there
just curious if anyone could give me any summer day camp referrals... I would very much appreciate any experiences for kids 7-11 Thanks

Summer S. replied:
I wish our county did more summer camps. When I grew up in Albemarle (Stanly Co) they had so many summer camp activities that were affordable and they still have them to this day.

Can anyone recommend a horse riding camp for a 13 yr old boy who has never rode before, but is interested?

Charlotte Cannon is awesome. He is also welcome here anytime.
Lisa G. replied:
As far as camps go, I would recommend Charlotte Cannon or Dominique at Honeysuckle Riding Academy in Monroe. We only do one camp week per year and it has sadly passed for this year.
