I volunteered for four years at Camp A. N. C. H. O. R, which is a camp for children and adults with special needs, and I now am going into my third summer working there. I have worked with an incredibly wide variety of children, with a vast array of different special needs. I have worked with young children with Down syndrome and Autism for the most part and I absolutely love what I do. I am also majoring in special education at SUNY Cortland and I am currently a sophomore. I really love my job at camp more than anything. The atmosphere and the campers really make the whole experience so worth while and I would not trade it for the world.
