“I really enjoyed watching our students interact with program participants,” said Amanda Titone, the Registered Nurse who attended each session and supervised the students. “I never had to worry about whether the students would join in, because most of the time participants would come right up and get the students involved in something right away!”

The success of SOAR365’s Adult Day Support is sustained by a skilled staff, engaged volunteers, and participants who join in a wide variety of activities and special events. Beginning this year, a new group has made an important contribution to the Adult Day Support success story.
For the fourth consecutive year, a team of more than 20 volunteers from Dominion Energy joined us at Camp Baker to work on outdoor tasks after a busy Summer Camp season.
The Dominion team worked on mulching; painting the Retreat residence hall; clearing out small trees, branches and shrubbery; and creating more space in the trail system to improve access to the fishing hole in the woods.

When Kim saw counselors greeting incoming campers, she said they made “an instant connection.”
