Older children will attend the afternoon session and will be volunteering at two local food and clothing pantries, going on a shopping trip to the grocery store where they will work on budgeting and healthy meal planning. During the camp session, they will have an opportunity to learn occupational and life skills in the kitchen as well as preparing a meal for local law enforcement. Extra fun physical activities in the community will be enjoyed by this group also.
"Our 13th annual Camp Buddy is here! It provides a great opportunity for awesome, differently-abled individuals who have Down syndrome or a similar chromosomal abnormality to receive needed physical, occupational and speech therapies as well as enhance and retain gains made throughout the school year by working individually with each camper to retain what was learned and specific academic challenges to ready
them for the upcoming school year" said Camp Buddy director Molly Marchese.
