Popis:	Counselors at a summer camp for adults with cerebral palsy and other disabilities must deal with the contradictory ideas that campers are special people deserving special treatment and that they should be treated no differently from anyone else. This contradiction produces ambiguities affecting boundaries usually taken to exist between handicapped and non‐handicapped persons. This paper examines processes, evidenced in a number of activities, rules, linguistic conventions and other customs, which produce and regulate the impact of these ambiguities on social relations within a camp in the United States.
