Inclusive
Summer Camp
for all
T oby Doremus loves summer camp. For the last six years, Toby has
attended Camp Inclusion, a day camp hosted at Folly Quarter Middle
School. He’s surrounded by friends both new and old, has gone on
fun fi eld trips like berry picking or museums, and loves the bond
with the counselors. They’re his friends, too.

Speaking over the phone from his apartment complex in Columbia, MD, with his
mother nearby, Toby described why he keeps coming back.

“The activities there are really fun to do. The fi eld trips are to fun places. The
counselors are really fun to be around,” said Toby, 22.

The last two summers, Toby has been a junior counselor at Camp Inclusion, helping
out around the camp and acting as an aid to the counselors. He’s aged out of the
program, but continues to be involved.
