This summer we are running our fifth integrated summer camp and are looking for volunteers that are excited to work with children with special needs!

Volunteers can sign up for any week or specific days: whatever works for your schedule! Most help is needed in the mornings 🙂
Our inclusive summer camp provides a great hands-on learning experience for student volunteers. Volunteers work 1-1 or 2-1 with participating campers (ages 3-15 years) in a wide range of activities, such as gymnastics, crafts, and games! Volunteers help athletes make new friends, learn new motor skills, and encourage the athletes to try new activities! Our athletes have a range of disabilities including autism, Down syndrome, ADD/ADHD, and cerebral palsy, among others.
We are so excited to be offering our summer camp again and hope you will be able to join us and benefit from this learning experience! Attached is a flyer with additional details! Students who are interested can email Ashley Tringas at balance180summercamp@gmail.com.
