Holidays a Time for Friends at the Friendship Circle

By Bob Gardinier for the Times Union

ALBANY, NY — Two dozen teenagers cared enough about helping special needs kids that they spent their holiday break volunteering for them.

For three days last week, the teenagers, local middle- and high-school students as well as three students home from college, participated in the Friendship Circle Winter Camp. The camp helps special needs kids and their families by providing a host of creative and recreational activities including sports, arts and crafts and music.
