OT Swing for Kids/Adults with Special needs - on a budget!

[billwendy]

HI - I volunteer at a Camp for kids/adults with special needs - this year as a project, we are building a swing set - I do have a Jennswing, but it only goes up to 125 lbs - I need something for larger "kids" who love to swing!!! I want all the kids to be able to swing if they want to!!! But the larger swings sucha s the "adult safety swing" are soooooooo expensive!! Anyone know of an outlet or anything that would offer a discount??? On a little camp budget, this would be out of the question! we are also trying to raise some funds at my church.

thanks, wendy

Backyardcity.com is the best ever!! They are actually the ones who are donating the Jennswing to our camp - and more!!! They are wonderful people, and have made camp such an exciting event for us this year - we are going to be building a swing set from one of their really cool kits!!!

Thanks everyone, keep the ideas flowing!!!
