Our Campaign message...
Welcome to our Swear 2 Change CAMPaign! Camp Twitch and Shout is an American Camp Association - Award Winning - accredited summer camp experience hosted by TICS, Inc. for children ages 8-17 with a diagnosis of Tourette Syndrome. Our purpose is for children with Tourette Syndrome to experience the joys of camp in a supportive environment, and help improve and impact their lives with our principles that help them develop in the areas of friendship, independence, individuality, resilience, and mindfulness. We also strive to ensure it is an affordable option for our children to attend. With a Financial Assistance program and sliding tuition options, Camp Twitch and Shout will need to supplement around $50,000 in tuition for over 100 families for this summer alone.
Tourette syndrome is a combination of vocal & motor "tics". The community typically thinks of Tourette syndrome as the "swearing" disorder. We want everyone to empathize and embrace those that have this symptom, while learning that TS can be much more and very complex. "Coprolalia" is the vocal tic that is saying inappropriate words such as swearing, yet vocal tics can also be grunting, squeaking, sniffing, gasping, words or phrases. Coprolalia is found in about 10-15% of individuals with TS and each person has their own unique set of symptoms and challenges.
We as an organization will be using Tourette Syndrome Awareness Month (May 15-June 15) to educate and "swear 2 change" society's perception of Tourette Syndrome. With the support of our amazing staff and volunteers, we will be fundraising for our Financial Assistance program and tuition supplement options.
