Camp REECE has received a $500 donation from Netlink Internet as part of their ongoing Giving Back Campaign, which donates funding to local non-profit organizations. Camp REECE was founded in 1968 by parents of children with disabilities to provide an opportunity for their children to have an accessible camping experience. Camp REECE stands for Religious Experience for Exceptional Citizens in a Camping Environment and is held at the Lake Darling Youth Center in Brighton.
The camp hosts about one hundred campers for one week a year and offers an opportunity to participate in activities such as crafts, paddle boarding, fishing, and more. At the end of the week, the camp holds a dance for all attendees to celebrate the week’s accomplishments. Tory Arnell, the regional director for Netlink, highlighted this unique opportunity as the main reason Camp REECE received the donation.
