JEFFERSON — A first-of-its-kind, fully-accessible overnight camp for children and young adults with developmental disabilities will be brought to life by two universities and an organization devoted to helping those with disabilities. A 70-acre parcel of land just off U.S. 129 in Jackson County will be transformed into Camp Hooray through a partnership between the University of Georgia’s College of Environment and Design, Georgia Tech’s College of Architecture and Extra Special People Inc. Ross Kesterson, a member of the ESP board and parent of an ESP participant, said he is excited to see what university students come up with for the camp.
