Adopt-A-School sent three students to summer camp during the summer of 2021. Students applied through the St. Helena Elementary School guidance office and were chosen on a basis of financial need and the ability of their parents to transport participants to and from the YMCA in Port Royal, SC. Jamie Simmons, Aaliyah Thomas, and Ah’niyah Thomas attended camp for eight weeks from June 21 through August 13, 2021.

Camp activities included swimming, nature activities, gym games, field games, dance, yoga and more. The final week of camp included a trip to the skating rink in Savanah, GA. From a note from one of the girls, “Thank you for allowing me to participate in camp. I had so much fun and make lots of new friends.”
