Is the joy of basketball stronger than the hate of religious intolerance? That's the hope at one unusual sports camp, where the motto is kids that can play together can learn to live together. Tonight, Chronicle discovers some summer places where the focus is much larger than arts and crafts and water sports. We'll see why disabled children are windsurfing at one local camp, and find a hidden gem on the Boston waterfront that is opening up the sport of sailing to all.
