Farrow is enrolled in Central Carolina Community College’s early childhood education program. Her ‘Child, Family, and Community’ class collaborated with nursing students from UNC-Chapel Hill to staff and plan activities for the Center’s summer camp for 2-to-4-year-olds and the Kids Can Connect camp for 5-to-8-year-olds. Both camps included children with and without disabilities. The nursing students gained experience working in the community and the CCCC students applied what they had learned in class about working with young children with and without disabilities, individually and in groups.
