Friendship Circle Online Camp provided a much-needed sense of normalcy for my son, Alex, during the pandemic. He missed seeing his friends in person, but this program allowed him to stay connected and have fun. The volunteers did an incredible job keeping the energy high, and the variety of activities catered to all interests. The dance parties were a highlight – they brought everyone together and created a real sense of community. We’re so happy we found Friendship Circle Online Camp!
