Project: Vacation

The Arc of Northern Bristol County’s Project Kids Connect held a school vacation camp for four days in April for 12 children with disabilities. Campers enjoyed Putters Golf in North Attleborough, O’Leary’s Gymnastics, and the Attleboro Arts Museum who were extremely welcoming and accommodating. The Good News Bible Church donated space for camp activities. Pictured at Vacation Camp are Family Support Coordinator Beth Bogus, Campers Ryan Lawn, Johnny Brackette and Joey Scales. The Arc of Northern Bristol County provides a variety of services for over 1,200 children and adults with developmental disabilities, and their families, including an array of educational, social and life enrichment activities for children and adults with developmental disabilities. Classes in computers, dance, arts and crafts, job development skills, health, nutrition, safety, self-advocacy, money management, and social activities are provided. The Arc also provides a wide array of individualized services, including family support, respite, individual supports, shared living, recreation, guardianship, representative payee services and more. The Arc is partnered with the United Way of Greater Attleboro/Taunton and many local organizations to expand opportunities for children and adults with developmental disabilities.
