The success and growth of Camp No Limits is extremely important to Robert, as he sits on the Board of Directors for CNL.  Rob has also created our Teen Camp, which is the newest camp model started in 2017.  Teen camp has filled a gap in supporting our campers as they grow into young adults.  Rob is also the Founder and Executive Director to the Limb Kind Foundation, a proud supporter of Camp No Limits.  Rob and the Foundation travel around the world making prostheses for children unable to obtain prosthetic care. Helping children with limb loss is Rob’s passion and life’s work.
