BIRCH BAY, Wash. — Volunteers and locally-based businesses came together over several months to make improvements to a camp by Birch Bay for people with disabilities.
At Camp Horizon, Americorps National Civilian Community Corps volunteers worked with eight businesses and put in more than 3,300 hours to improve accessibility, repaint dorms, renovate the sidewalk, and work on other beautification and maintenance projects.
