Friendship In Action Tours
We would like to share Friendship Ventures story with you through our new
“Friendship in Action” tours. The event takes approximately an hour.
It’s a story about parents and campers, dedicated staff, counselors,
volunteers, and donors whose unselfish gift of love and concern have made it
possible for Friendship Ventures to continue to enrich the lives of people
with mental disabilities. With the increase of people requesting services,
Friendship Ventures has broadened its direct care services to include
programs for individuals with a wide-range of other disabilities. Few people
understand that most of our participants will never outgrow their illness.
They are people that, through no fault of their own, will always depend on
the generosity of others for their care, life skills, and happiness.
