I have volunteered at Special Friends camp for the past 3 summers. At this camp we spend all day with our buddy doing anything from arts and crafts, swimming, high ropes course, singing, to going on a zip line! So I have had experience making a friendship, helping my buddy face their fears (the zip line and high ropes course), assistance eating, using the restroom, and any other assistance they need. I also took a class in highs cool where I volunteered in the special needs classrooms, as well as another class where I helped out in there PE class which was so much fun! My best friend's brother has down syndrome and I have been paid to watch him over the years as well, but most of my time has been volunteer work.
