YLD teamed up with the EdVenture Children’s Museum in Columbia to assist with their summer camp program, which ran from June until August. Several camps were offered that taught children ages three to 12 about science, art, cooking and music in fun and creative ways. Special thanks to Jessica Steadman, Jasmine Rogers, Shelby Leonardi, Lisa Hostetler, Haley Steets and Carmen McCutcheon for volunteering their time--whether it was helping a child overcome her fears in sliding down Eddie, teaching a child how a bird makes a nest, or measuring out flour for a cake, our volunteers sent each child home with a bit more confidence and an extra piece of knowledge. Thanks to the EdVenture staff, Jennifer Suber, Susan Bonk and Mallory Coleman for their help with this effort. Click here to view a slideshow of photos from this event!
