Hello everyone! My name is Karryna Austin, and I am currently a student at Old Dominion University. At ODU I am majoring in Therapeutic Recreation (TR) with a minor in Special Education. For those that do not know what TR is, it is activity-based therapies that address the specific needs of individuals with disabilities. Camp Webber in Alaska is an adaptived sports camp for children who are visually impaired. With this opportunity I will be gaining valuable, hands-on experience with people with disabilities as well as having fun with some really cool kids. While the camp will be housing us, volunteers are responsible for making our way to Alaska. This opportunity means a lot to me, and any assistance on travel fees is greatly appreciated.
