SOME's Senior Summer Camp

Since 1980, SOME has invited low-income District seniors to enjoy a week of peace and relaxation at SOME's Senior Summer Camp.

Hosted at a beautiful West Virginia retreat center, the camp offers a combination of rest and activities for 120 elderly men and women who could not otherwise afford a vacation.

In addition to ample opportunities for relaxation, campers enjoy popular arts and crafts sessions, home cooked meals and daily movie screenings and games.
