Affiliations
- I love to volunteer at a camp called EC camp at the end of July every year. EC Camp is a camp for people with intellectual and physical disabilities to come and enjoy themselves as well as give their care takers a break. This is the highlight of their year for many of these people considering a lot of them are in group homes. I've been going for 7 years, and am now staff.
