Great experience!

I recently traveled with my sorority to Austint his weekend for our annual region weekend. It's a 2 day conference where all the Delta Zeta chapters in our region come together and attend different seminars about our sorority. One of the seminars was about our philanthropy which is the speech and hearing impaired, and we support the Painted Turtle Camp. This camp is located in California and is a week long camp solely for children with different disabilites. Each week in the summer is for a different disability. The lady in charge of the seminar discussed volunteering and showed us a short video of what goes on at this camp.
It kind of caught my interest simply because I have scoliosis and growing up and traveling to my childrens hospital frequently, I saw children who struggles so much with their disabilities and it was really touching and sad. After the weekend I'd thought a lot about it and decided I might want to go to this camp and be a counselor for a week. However, it's expensive to fly to California. Then this week in my sorority meeting, our president announced that Delta Zeta is going to sponser one girl in our chapter to go this summer and be a councelor!!! Hopefully that someone will be me...it seems like it would be a very rewarding experience.
