** MTCC PEERS, Unlimited -Summer Camp
 
 
 
PEERS (Partners Ensuring Equal Rights and Supports), based in Kalispell, MT provides social and integrative opportunities for individuals with developmental disabilities to enable them to experience life in the same manner that people without disabilities live it. The goal of this project is to assist students with disabilities to make the successful transition from high school to college or other post-secondary opportunities. Statistics from the US Census indicate one in five individuals is determined to have some type of disability. Of those five, one in three lives in poverty. Those with developmental or intellectual disabilities are among the lowest on the economic scale. PEERS will assist with connecting students to their community, providing engaging summer programming, and will help identify services or supports available to these students after high school.
