With summer right around the corner, another year of Camp Kidz is on the horizon. Camp Kidz is a six-week day camp for children with disabilities, offering a variety of activities tailored to each campers’ needs and allowing them to create new friendships, explains Warren Achievement Center Marketing Coordinator Sean Cavanaugh:

“Camp Kidz is starting up. That is a partnership with Bridgeway and Thrive Community Services. It is a day camp, which is four days a week, for about six weeks for individuals 5 to 21 years old. There are all kinds of wonderful activities that they engage in. We call it ‘worry free fun’ because we have a maximum of 50 campers, but we have 30 employees to manage the 50 campers. We have nursing staff, supervisors, things to cover everything. They go on field trips, have arts and crafts, games, sports, there is a Family Fun Day, music, and stories, just all kinds of things. It is an awful lot of fun. Those that attend Camp Kidz look forward to it every year. They meet new friends and socialize. They meet friends that are from Henderson County, Mercer County, or Knox County, people who they wouldn’t normally have a chance to meet.”

Additionally, Cavanaugh informs Warren Achievement Center currently has open positions for Direct Support Professionals, a Residential Administrator, and a Comptroller.
