A camp for adolescents with disabilities run by a partnership between Georgia Southern University, the Statesboro-Bulloch County Parks and Recreation Department and the Therapy SPOT has turned out to be a winning combination for all involved. Camp RAD – Recreation for Adolescents with Disabilities – is a free day camp held during the first four weeks of June for 10- to 20-year-old young people. For four days during each week in June, not only do the participants get to take part in fun and safe physical activities in a group setting, students learn how to live a healthier lifestyle and learn various social, life and community involvement skills.
