Wheelchair Accessible Picnic Table

We can’t tell you enough how AMAZING all of our readers are, we love getting emails and pictures of your builds. But when an email came in from a fellow builder in Michigan requesting plans for a wheelchair accessible picnic table he would be building for a camp, we knew we wanted to get involved.

We put our faith into making the jump to take Rogue Engineer full time, and with that we knew we also wanted to help touch the lives of others. So when we were asked for the plans for this table, not only did we create plans, but we built a table and personally delivered it to Camp Fish Tales in Pinconning, Mi.

Camp Fish Tails is an incredible camp that gives people with disabilities and special needs a chance to really experience the outdoors in a unique wheelchair accessible camp setting. We were blown away not only by the camp itself but by the incredible staff who were working their tails off to get the camp in tip top shape for the season.

This camp gives campers the chance to experience the outdoors and all the joys that come along with camping. I mean check out this incredible handicap zip-line which was donated to the camp by the Detroit Pistons!

I could go on forever telling you how wonderful Camp Fish Tales is,  but it’s really the hard work and love that each and every person we met at the camp that made this place so truly special. We know this camp is in need of whatever little amount they can get, so please be sure to visit their website, you can make donations or find a way to get involved.
