Lizzie is so stoked you’re here at “virtual” Camp.  She has been a part of Camp No Limits since 2005 and each of her camp experiences has created something incredible. Lizzie started coming when she was just nine years old and has learned so much over the past 15 years that she couldn’t imagine not giving back to an organization that has given so much to her.  Camp No Limits is home, welcome to the family!

Keegan Moreau

Mentor

Keegan has been attending Camp No Limits since 2005 at the age of 6! She was born missing her right arm below the elbow.  When she began attending CNL, she was very shy and hid her little arm behind her back. After the first year, Keegan began to feel more confident and open up about her difference! Now, she is able to be a mentor to other children like herself and allow them to find their own confidence! Through camp, Keegan  fell in love with helping others and is now in school to be an Occupational Therapist! She enjoys competitive ski racing in the winter, as well as coaching a youth team! She also loves traveling to different camps and meeting new people.  She never lets her limb difference define her!!

Justine was born with PFFD and is an above knee amputee.  She has upper limb differences as well. Growing up Justine always wished there was a program like this where she could go and know that she was not alone.
