About the Sponsor and Event

PALS Programs is a non-profit organization that provides inclusive camp experiences for people with Down Syndrome and their Peers on college campuses across the United States.

"PALS Programs has a 1:1 pairing model that partners individuals with Down Syndrome with a Peer who does not have Down Syndrome to experience a fun-filled, transformative week together. We are looking for 1:1 paired participants and volunteer leaders to help run our program. We think PALS could be a fun and meaningful way for students at Gilman School to earn up to 100 service hours, and we would be willing to work with any participant who might be interested in using this experience as a service project. We would also invite any individual with Down Syndrome to join us as a partner at camp! You can view the PALS magic from this past summer here."
