For Brian Hay, 'Come as you are' is the unofficial slogan for the summer camps offered by Variety Village, a charity focused on empowering children with disabilities.
For Brian Hay, that’s the unofficial slogan for the summer camps offered by Variety Village, a charity focused on empowering children with disabilities.“What makes our camps so special is the inclusivity aspect. There is really no other organization quite like ours that makes programming and summer camp accessible to a population who otherwise wouldn’t have the ability to participate or even be included.
Many summer days over the past four or so years, Pierce Williams has bounced through Variety Village’s doors excited for another day at camp. The family enrolled Pierce in Variety Village’s after-school and summer camps, where a staff member can help as needed.In years past, Variety Village also offered a traditional camping experience. Campers would set up tents and stay overnight in a park, where they would gather around a fire, make s’mores and sing songs. Hay said they are easing back into things after two summers upended by the pandemic, but he hopes to bring those experiences back in the future.
