Rad camp is a camp that occurs 4 times a year and is dedicated for individuals with disabilities. RAD camp stands for the mission of the camp, Rising Above Disabilities. At this nonprofit organization, there is two, week long camps a summer, one being kids 17 and under and one for those 18 and older. Being a volunteer at this camp means that I am assigned a "buddy" with a disability and I am responsible for providing 24hr care for this buddy throughout the duration of the 5 day camp. This includes everything from medicine, nutritional care, educational classes and of course lots of fun! RAD camp has provided me with experience caring for individuals of many ages and different disabilities and has allowed me to learn a lot about life and myself.
