Outdoor Youth Program-
held in early fall in Central Indiana, allows children with TS an
opportunity to meet others with the same challenges, participate in
trust and team building activities, share experiences, concerns and
coping ideas through group discussions, in an enjoyable, safe and
positive outdoor environment. The Chapter provides this experience to
all families in the state, regardless of ability to pay, through
fundraising and generous donations from supporters.
