While most kids spent their summer lounging by the pool and soaking up the rays, Ellen Brown volunteered her time at Stepping Stones Center’s summer Day Camp for children with disabilities in Indian Hill.

For Brown, who is a senior at Purdue University studying biology education, volunteering at Stepping Stones is a family affair.

“My mom and aunt volunteered here when they were my age, and my cousin George is a camper here,” she says.
