Summer Buddies was founded by Sarah Lubin and Angela Nance in 2004 with the intention of offering a social skills program that enabled children of all abilities to learn to live, laugh, and play together!

       We are a grass roots organization aimed at providing social skills play groups to children ages 3-8 with and without disabilities during the summer.  We directly teach play and social skills to children who may not otherwise learn or acquire these skills naturally and offer opportunities for children of varying abilities to learn to socialize and play together.   Our program is unique in that it focuses on social and play skills in a fun, safe environment with children who have a range of disabilities and with their typically developing peers.  In our 8th year we are finalizing our non-profit status and hope to expand our program through government funding and personal donations.
