Summer Camps
Camps are specifically designed for children with Autism, Asperger’s, and Other Neurodevelopmental Disorders
Summer 2011 is over. Look for next year’s camp schedule in March 2012!
A description of each program is below, along with the option to register online. We have programs for ages 4-7, 8-12, and 11-18. If you’d like more information, contact us.
Description:
Your child is going to LOVE the exciting adventures we have planned for this summer! Each week we will explore a different theme together, complete with lots of opportunities for movement, music, problem solving, working together, and indoor and outdoor fun.
Our camps are designed to offer a fun, safe, and therapeutic environment for children with developmental disabilities to engage with peers, try new things, and retain skills over the summer months. A low staff to child ratio ensures that everyone is supported.
Principles of the CORE Approach are integrated throughout all activities, which provides opportunities for campers to improve communication, increase competence, enhance regulation, and build relationships.
Summer 2011 Summer CAMPS Schedule:
You may select the weeks that best fit your schedule – choose one, a few, or all of them depending on your needs and summer plans. Our camp weeks run from Monday through Thursday.
Morning programs meet from 9 a.m. – 12 p.m. and are for children ages 4-7. Afternoon programs meet from 1 p.m. – 4 p.m. and are for children ages 8-12. If your child is younger than 4 or older than 12, please call to discuss your specific needs.
*Parents with children in the CAMPS program are invited to attend 2 parent-only sessions to facilitate carryover of techniques into the home environment. Sessions on communication strategies and on guiding your child to participate in activities will be announced soon. These sessions are included in the cost of the CAMPS program.
