Trailways Camps hosts retreat
Trailways Camps hosted a residential camp for 20 adults with special needs, along with 50 staff, volunteers and invited guests, on Nov. 13-16 at the Riverside Retreat in Labelle. It was packed with activities that provided opportunities for fun, creating friendships and establishing connections as a community of diverse individuals. A highlight of the camp was a family-style Thanksgiving feast, followed by a talent show. Every retreat includes a Community Give Back project, where campers are asked to participate as volunteers in giving back. At the November camp, they created baskets of Thanksgiving side dishes to give to the Alva Food bank, which is also distributing hams and turkeys.
