CI and Camarillo celebrate Special Olympics
At a recent special event held on CI’s campus, the city of Camarillo announced that the community has been officially selected to participate in the Special Olympics World Games Host Town program from July 21-24. More than 7,000 athletes from 177 countries will be welcomed to Southern California through the Host Town program. As many as one hundred communities from San Luis Obispo to San Diego will have the honor of being selected as an official Host Town.
The Host Town program in Camarillo is a collaboration between CSU Channel Islands, the City of Camarillo and the Camarillo Chamber of Commerce. Together, they will welcome a delegation from the 2015 Special Olympics World Games and show the athletes and coaches all that Camarillo has to offer.
