BRIEF CAMP DESCRIPTION: Camp Friendship is a fun summer program for children who need to work on social, communication, and friendship skills. Making friends isn’t always easy! At our program, kids will have tons of fun working on social skills while doing all kinds of fun camp-like activities.
SPECIAL NEEDS CAMPERS: Campers will enjoy indoor and outdoor playtime, games, arts & crafts, water play, collaborative projects, sports, and more! While having fun we will be working on working on flexibility, peer relationships, social awareness, social cues, and group projects and collaboration. Campers will also work on school preparedness skills such as following the schedule, working with a group, being flexible, waiting nicely, etc.
Each of our themed activities are embedded with social and communication goals. Our “hidden curriculum” includes friendship skills such as finding things in common with others, conversation starters, how to engage in “small talk,” working constructively within a group, perspective-taking, listening, showing empathy, reading social cues and body language, managing stress and anxiety, calming techniques, and more.
