Are you interested in working with adults with developmental/intellectual disabilities or other special needs?
Campus Connections partners with Camp Horizons in Windham CT. Our UConn participants volunteer during Horizon's weekends in the country program. We essentially serve as a helping hand to the professional staff, participate in the activities, and socialize with the campers. No prior experience working with individuals with disabilities is needed!
Some examples of activities we've helped with in the past include: tie dye socks, carving and painting pumpkins, making dirt pudding, playing ultimate frisbee, and making cement flower pots.
Volunteers would visit Camp Horizons on Saturday mornings from 9:00-1:00. All transportation to Horizons is provided to us by community outreach.
