More than a Vacation
Sometimes, a vacation is more than a vacation – like when Hilde Wong and her family applied for Elim Family Camp in August 2024 and were among those selected to participate. As I spoke to her about her experience, she expressed her nervousness about going initially. “We were unsure about what we were getting into!” Camp meant being in a new space with many people she didn’t know, trying to navigate the needs of her family. Hilde and Jason, her husband, navigate the complex realities of life with their two daughters, Evelyn (10) and Janelle (8), who have rare seizure disorders. Hilde realized she was bringing her own fears to the experience. Four weeks prior, their family had a terrible experience where they were discriminated against because of their disability – by people who should have been there for them. She had lost trust in people. “We wanted to close ourselves off to the world.”
