Volunteer With Camp Horizons!
Are you interested in working with adults with developmental/intellectual disabilities or other special needs such as autism or down syndrome?
Camp Horizons in South Windham, CT might be the right fit for you! Our UConn participants volunteer during Horizon's weekends for person-centered opportunities for adults with special needs. 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-dyeing socks, carving and painting pumpkins, making dirt pudding, playing ultimate frisbee, and making cement flower pots.
We commit to six Saturdays a semester from 1-4 PM:
9/28 Art Your Engines
10/12 Leaf Me in Flannel
10/26 Ghouls Just Wanna Have Fun
11/9 Life is Gourd
11/23 Poultry in Motion
12/7 Sleigh Whaat?!
All transportation to Horizons is provided to us by community outreach.
