Older children will attend the afternoon session and will be volunteering at two local food and clothing pantries, going on a shopping trip to the grocery store where they will work on budgeting and healthy meal planning. During the camp session, they will have an opportunity to learn occupational and life skills in the kitchen as well as preparing a meal for local law enforcement. Extra fun physical activities in the community will be enjoyed by this group also. "Our 13th annual Camp Buddy is here! It provides a great opportunity for awesome, differently- them for the upcoming school year" said Camp Buddy director Molly Marchese.
