As you walk through the Great Wolf Lodge (GWL), there's no doubt that this family resort is focused on accommodating children of all ages and all abilities. This includes those who are autistic.
The Blue Ears Campaign
This is the second year that GWL has raised awareness and money around autism."We weren't sure how well the blue ear campaign would do our first year," said Lasecki."So we ordered just over 10,000 sets of ears. They quickly sold out, and, as a result, we were able to donate over $50,000 to Autism Speaks."
Across all of their lodges, they welcome approximately 8 million visitors annually. Christa Lucarelli and her son, Jimmy, are just two of those visitors.... [+]Jimmy is autistic. He is verbal but has a stutter, and as his mother explained, he sometimes struggles to express himself. However, Jimmy loves to learn, has a great memory, graduated high school with a diploma, and takes classes at Molloy College. He is not working towards a degree but goes to learn whatever he can.
Bill Colavito, the General Manager of Great Wolf Lodge at the Pocono Mountains location, knows the Lucarelli family well."Christa wrote me an email sharing her experience and how wonderful it was for her, especially Jimmy, her"From our first visit, we knew there was something different about GWL, Lucarelli adds."I had an overall feeling of calm and a sense of safety. The building is set so far from the main road I wasn't concerned with my kids wandering out the door.
