(St. Louis, Mo., April 8, 2025) – Boone Center, Inc. (BCI)—an organization that empowers people with disabilities through employment opportunities—is currently accepting applications for a free, four-week summer camp. The experience is designed for high school students with disabilities interested in manufacturing and will be held at the Lewis & Clark Career Center, 2400 Zumbehl Rd, St. Charles, MO 63301.
