Camp RAD, a four-week long camp for young people ages 10-23 with intellectual or developmental disabilities, has parents, students and campers raving about the fun and benefits taking place at Luetta Moore Park from 1 to 4PM, Monday through Thursday. Camp RAD, which stands for Recreation for Adolescents with Disabilities, seeks to bridge the summertime gap between school and community for its participants. The program is a collaborative event between Georgia Southern University, Statesboro Parks and Recreation and the Therapy SPOT and is funded by a grant from Georgia Southern Research and Service Foundation, Pineland Mental Health Services and Easter Seals.
