How accessible is accessible?

This weekend I went on a travel camp trip to Omaha, Nebraska. First and foremost, it was great to see my family and to show them all of the great things we've been up to here at camp. It was absolutely incredible to see my family jump right in and help out with the campers. It made my heart smile. :) Second, it was an interesting adventure into the world of accessibility. There are all sorts of ADA laws to make sure things are handicap and wheelchair accessible, but outside of parking spaces how accessible is accessible? The other counselors and I began comparing bathrooms-which ones were wide enough, had the best railings, etc. This is an odd thing to notice, but when you are travelling with seven campers in wheelchairs, these are the things you pay attention to. In Omaha, we visited the Henry Doorly Zoo which as it turns out does a pretty good job of making things accessible. We opted out of the rain forest and the desert dome in favor of attractions where the animals were easier to see with more wheelchair accessibly pathways. I have done travel camps before with Camp K, but the majority of their trips are camping in the great outdoors with campers who don't utilize wheelchairs so there wasn't much in the way of comparing accessible bathrooms. So this trip definitely helped me to look through an accessibility lens.
