It is our goal to use community outreach events to create a vision of hope and awareness to demonstrate that every life brings value to the world.

What's New
Kiwanis Camp
Summer 2012
Sign up online for Mt. Hood Kiwanas camp. Registration starts January 9. DSNO will offer scholarships of at least 1/2 the amount. The scholarship application process for the limited number of half scholarships to Kiwanis Camp will be posted on the website and in an e-mail in the next few weeks. You must have already reserved a spot with the camp, to use the scholarship. If you are not sure about sending your child sign up anyway so you can secure your spot.


“When Megan was born, I was unprepared and totally overwhelmed. The early months of her life were filled with many trips to the doctor, unanswered questions and feelings of isolation.

By meeting other parents of children with disabilities, I began to realize that Megan was my mission. Megan has brought laughter, joy and endless love to my husband, myself, her three older brothers and those around her. She is the sparkle in our lives.”

Paula Schiedler, Co-founder DSNO
