PALS Programs is a nonprofit organization creating inclusive camp experiences for people with and without Down syndrome. Programs are volunteer-led changing attitudes, transforming lives, and inspiring a world of belonging. This year, PALS Programs is fortunate to be in a pivotal position to host hybrid programs this Summer 2021 to serve our communities.
This summer, PALS is fortunate to be in a pivotal position to host a variety of in-person and virtual programs, and we need volunteers to help serve our community.
What will our summer programs look like in 2021? PALS is offering two options this summer:
- In-person programswill take place over the course of one weekend (Saturday & Sunday), and will be on-site for two days of activities. There will not be a residential (overnight) component to these programs.
- Virtual-only programs will be held over the course of one week, with 1-hour virtual events held each evening, plus two extended virtual Saturday gatherings.
- Bothsummer program options are based on the proven PALS model: one-to-one pairings, team-based interactions, and activities and programming that accelerate friendships and inspire a world of belonging.
PALS North Carolina will take place on July 31st and August 1st in White Oak, NC. Participants will be on-site from 9am-5pm local time each day.
Volunteers do not need to have prior experience with Down syndrome or the disability community, and training is provided at the beginning of each program. Volunteers must be 15 or older to be eligible. PALS is committed to keeping all participants safe during all events, which will be fully outdoor with masking and social distancing requirements for all participants, as well as small cohort teams made up of no more than 10 individuals.
PALS is committed to creating a diverse and inclusive environment for all participants with and without Down syndrome to create a world of belonging, where all people are valued for their unique perspectives and lived experiences. There are no costs associated with volunteering at PALS.
PALS is hoping to engage with a wide range of individuals from a variety of backgrounds and lived experiences. Please reach out to Rosemary Corcoran if you would like additional materials or information, or if you would like to chat further about partnering with PALS.

***Message from Hannah Mierzwa and Ella Ruddy:
Hey everyone! We are continuing our capstone this week to recognize girls’ sports teams each week during women’s history month.
This week’s team is soccer! One member of the soccer team told us that a defining part of their team is the many traditions that have been carried across the years, including riddles, the team mascot Charles, and questionnaires, all of which has helped bring the team closer together and helped with their undefeated season last year! At their last game, Brooke Van Epps and Sarah Little each had 2 goals! Way to go soccer!
In part of supporting their team, we want everyone to go watch their next game against Carmel Christian on Friday, March 26th at 7! We encourage everyone to try to come in person, since we are allowed to have fans now. However, if you can’t make it, tune in with local live! https://events.locallive.tv/school/cannonschool

Update from Flik:
One simple task, is all we are asking from US students as we continue to advance our options in the dining hall. We are just asking that you sanitize your hands upon entering and again after exiting the dining hall.
As you have seen, we have opened up A-La-Carte service of the daily menu as well as adding an alternative menu option and pre-made gran and go salads. We have also unlocked the drink beverage coolers and ice cream cooler for self serve. This is where sanitizing your hands becomes an important task. Additionally, we offer a one-time use disposable glove for those that prefer not to touch a high traffic door handle.
So SANITIZE! SANITIZE! SANITIZE!
Additionally, we are about 2 weeks away from opening a modified version of our deli
As always if you have any questions feel free to ask
Kindly
Mr. Evans
