(EFFINGHAM/CHATHAM, GA) The Lowcountry Down Syndrome Society announces their Summer Camp, geared for children (ages 3 to 6) with Down Syndrome. Many educational and recreational activities are designed with these special kids in mind; speech, physical and occupational therapists are on board to help campers exercise motor and speech skills among other areas that may need improvement. This year Camp Buddy is adding a special education teacher who will bring in another area of expertise; ‘Handwriting Without Tears’.
