Summertime brings all the sunshine, all the outdoor activities, and all of the fun! Coastal Mississippi offers so many incredible ways to show our kids a good time, from setting sail at summer camp to arts and crafts at your favorite museum, or just relaxing on the beach with friends and family. It’s important to remember that these activities are such a vital part of growth and development, but it’s also imperative to remember that every child on the Coast should have the opportunities to partake in and be exposed to all the fun in the sun.
For our friends born with special health needs or diagnosed with learning and/or developmental disabilities, it’s just as crucial that they have options to grow, learn, and develop, all while having a great time with their friends. The Coast offers a number of outlets and events for our friends who need an extra hand to get out, play, and just be kids.
