Here is another volunteer opportunity for those of you who are looking to get a few more service hours in before sending in applications, or anyone else 15 or older.
The iCanShine program (which hosted a bike camp earlier this summer that some of you were involved in) is currently putting together a swim camp for kids with Autism and Down Syndrome. It will be held at Lakeland School in Elkhorn from August 17th-21st (which is in a couple weeks), with an orientation on August 16th. As long as you can can swim, no major swim experience (ie: swim team, lifeguarding, etc.) or experience with kids with disabilities is necessary. You would be working one-on one with a swimmer in a group setting, helping your swimmer reach their goals by learning skills like movement, floating, and breathing.
If you are interested in volunteering, please fill out and send in the registration form and/or contact Gabey Davis, the director, at gabey.davis@gmail.com with any questions as soon as possible since camp is rapidly approaching. Below is a link to the flyer with details (including the session times), along with a volunteer registration packet. Feel free to pass this along to anyone you know who might be interested in volunteering as well. They can't do this without the amazing volunteers who give their time to make it possible!
