Hands On Education

Hi Everyone!

For those of you who do not know the details of what I am doing this summer - I am working as a camp counselor for the Easter Seals program.

"From campfire sing-a-longs and late night ghost stories, to boating, nature walks, swimming, and arts and crafts, Easter Seals camps provide the same excitement and activity available at other summer camp programs. The difference? Easter Seals campers experience the joys and challenges of camp in a fully-accessible setting. As a veteran service-provider for children and adults with disabilities, Easter Seals meets the need for accessible camping with 140 camping and recreation facilities across the country.

I am really excited about this opportunity. I will be working with persons, of all ages, with mental retardation and developmental disabilities. I will be updating this site as often as possible about what I am learning from my campers.
