Special Needs Kids + Teen Mentors + Summer Day Camp =
Everyone Wins
What We Do: SummerAde pairs high school volunteers with special needs children to aid them during their week at a summer day camp.
What Teens Do: Teens volunteers serve as a camp aid or Mentor for a young child with mild disabilities, helping them adjust to the schedule, navigate activities, facilitate social interactions and enjoy all the day camp offers. Enthusiasm, training session, home visit and parents’ consent required.
What Campers Do: Parents choose the camp and the week that works for you and we will individually pair your child with a qualified teen volunteer.
