<p>Camp is such an outstanding experience - especially after the strange and difficult times that a global pandemic created. And though this is true of all camp experiences, there is something acutely special about camps like Adam's Camp. </p>

<p>Adam’s Camp has been realizing potential and developing strengths for children and young adults with developmental disabilities for over three decades through intensive developmental therapies, recreation, adventure, and respite.</p>
<p></p>
<p>We have all had a lot of upheavals. A lot of loss. A lot of change. After having to suspend regular Summer camp functions the previous year, Adam's Camp was able to open up its Summer Camp offerings once again this year. Coming back to the mountains with campers and families and seeing the dedicated professionals, staff, and volunteers come together once more to share and support our community meant so much to Adam's Camp - and so very much to those served by Adam's Camp.</p>
<p></p>
<p>And the beauty is that Adam's Camp offers more than just a Summer Camp experience. Throughout the year Adam's Camp provides opportunities to get involved, have some fun, and grow into not only a well-supported community but a community that is focused on living into the potential of all of its members.</p>

<div><strong>Boulder, Colorado</strong><span> </span>– Barbara MacFerrin of Barbara MacFerrin Photography in Boulder, CO was named a Silver Medalist during Professional Photographers of America's 2019 International Photographic competition. MacFerrin's work will be on display at the Gaylord Opryland Convention Center in Nashville, Tennessee, January 19-21, 2020. This International Photographic Exhibit is held in conjunction with Imaging USA, an annual convention and expo for professional photographers.<br/> <br/>A panel of 36 eminent jurors from across the United States selected the top photographs from over 5,200 total submitted entries at PPA headquarters in Atlanta. Judged against a standard of excellence, 2,654 images were selected for the General Collection and 625 (roughly 12 percent) were selected for the esteemed Loan Collection—the best of the best. The Loan Collection images will all be published in the much-anticipated "Loan Collection" book by Marathon Press.<br/> <br/>The level of the award is determined by how many of those four images receive the highest possible honor: acceptance into the PPA Loan Collection, which is displayed at photographic exhibitions, conventions and other photography events. MacFerrin was named a Silver Medalist, meaning that one of her four merited images entered the PPA Loan Collection. In 2019, she is one of only 128 Silver Medalists. MacFerrin has also earned the merit of Associate Photographer by The Portrait Masters Awards and Accreditation. <br/> <br/>Barbara MacFerrin is an award-winning portrait photographer with over 25 years of photography experience specializing in children and family fine art portraiture. Her work is inspired by old master paintings of the Baroque period and customized sessions include professional hair and makeup and optional use of studio wardrobe. Product options include high quality fine art prints and custom wall art.</div>
