Bay Buddies Set Sail in August
In August, 84 students with intellectual and developmental disabilities attended our Bay Buddies summer camp and enrichment program thanks to your generous contributions and the collaborative effort of The Arc Baltimore, Baltimore County and City schools, and our host, Living Classrooms.
Campers sailed on the Lady Maryland, visited the Maryland Science Center and went swimming, horseback riding and bowling. Other popular activities were crafts, drum circles and hands-on activities involving living things from the Bay.
See the many happy campers in action by clicking below.
