Camp Shriver was the beginning of an effort that grew into the Special Olympics, established to provide athletic opportunities for individuals with intellectual disabilities. Founded in 1968 by Eunice Kennedy Shriver, the camp aimed to promote physical fitness, skills development, and social inclusion through sports. This initiative has since expanded globally, fostering acceptance and empowering millions of participants around the world. The Special Olympics continues to advocate for the rights and capabilities of individuals with intellectual disabilities through sports and community engagement.

Who was Eunice Kennedy Shriver?
She was the sister of John F. Kennedy and the mother of Maria Shriver, who is the first lady of California. Eunice Shriver started the Special Olympics because of her sister, who was developmentally disabled. When Eunice and her siblings were young, it was customary to keep such family members out of public view, because of a mistaken sense of shame. I believe this was the edict of their father, Joseph Kennedy. When Maria's father passed away, the rest of the family included their sister in family activities until she was older and not in good physical health. Eunice especially wanted for all people with developmental disabilities to have the experiences of other children, to try to encourage them to do their best, and to increase their self-esteem. She worked tirelessly with her husband, Sargent Shriver, her daughter Maria, and all the extended Kennedy clan. She has made a huge difference in the lives of these people. Special Olympics continues to grow, and I'm sure her daughter, Maria Shriver Schwarzenegger, will continue, with the rest of the family, to carry on her mother's good work.
