ULLIN, IL (June 4, 2026) – The first of several Amazing S.A.I.N.T.S. camps took place this week at Shawnee Community College, bringing participants together for a summer of learning, creativity, and connection.
The Amazing S.A.I.N.T.S. program is a partnership between Shawnee Community College and Rolling in Faith, a nonprofit organization dedicated to cultivating a sense of belonging and empowering people with disabilities to flourish in their communities.
