What it reported doing in 2010

Disability services - we have two programs, summer recreation and recreational respite. Summer recreation provides a five-week day camp experience (10 am - 4 pm) for children ages 6 - 21 with special needs. The program is community-based at five sites scattered around summit county, allowing youth to remain as close to home as possible. A trained staff of educators, nurses, college students, volunteers and other motivated persons work with each child to deliver appropriate gross and fine motor activities as well as social stimulation. Transportation is provided for most campers.
