Special Olympics Delaware's summer camp
was held August 4-6 at Camp Barnes in
southern Delaware. SODE summer camp
is one of the feature events for more than
120 Special Olympics athletes who attend
the three-day, two-night sessions. Here,
they can participate in many activities in a
back-to-nature setting overlooking Millers
Creek in Frankford. Athletes participate in
several fun water activities like canoeing,
swimming, kayaking and boating. Traditional
camp sports events like archery, basketball,
wiffle ball, and cornhole are also popular
among the campers. Over 40 high school
student-athletes also attended camp as
part of their experience at the annual
Delaware Interscholastic Athletic Association
Leadership Conference, in addition to more
than 25 high school and college students
from around the state who volunteer as
counselors. A special thank you to the Lord
Baltimore Lions Club for the barbecue dinner
and to the local motorcycle enthusiasts who
roared into camp and spent the evening
sharing their bikes with the campers.
