Camper Summer Programs
Camper Summer Programs
Our Camper Summer programs are for children who are 7-13 years of age. These programs are designed for neurodiverse youth who may be living with ADHD, Tourette’s, learning disabilities, anxiety, high verbal campers with ASD and so many more. These week-long sessions encourage and support youth to work on their conversation skills, flexibility, goal setting, positive mental health and coping strategies, behaviour management skills, problem-solving, creativity, and the opportunity to develop strong friendships. Our highly trained staff members work with our campers one on one so campers can have the best experience. Campers have the opportunity to explore a variety of recreational activities including, but not limited to, swimming, canoeing, drama, art, music, gardening, animals care, tripping, high ropes, tree top trekking, etc.
Our Focus On Goal Setting
Skills Goal Setting: We meet with parents and guardians before camp and ask them to select goals that their kids can apply for the rest of their lives. It’s not about what we want at camp, but what will work for the kids and their families at home, at school and in their communities. Skills to be under the following categories:
Social – learning to take turns, negotiate, compromise, and how to invite others to socialize
Recreational – how to stern a canoe, play on a team, ride a bike, and play games
Domestic – focused on the Teen Program (for employability)
Self-Care – i.e. personal hygiene and strategies for maintaining positive mental health
Challenge by Choice - Kids set their own personal goals. They learn that different people have different challenges and different competencies, and we can celebrate each others’ successes and support each other’s challenges
