Caregivers

No one-on-one support is provided. Aides and caregivers must accompany a child who requires this level of support. Ratio is 2 staff to 8 campers per group.

Camp activities are designed to promote socialization, increase independence, promote campers’ strengths and help campers explore new leisure interests. Everyday there will be a “get active” portion of camp and a creative portion of camp. The get active time could be group games, scavenger hunts, group walks or relay races. The creative portion of camp could be sensory projects, art projects, science experiments, group storytelling, or activity packets. Throughout the week we also will have special guests join camp, these activities would include: entertainers, a naturalist coming to teach a class at camp, and adventure activities such as parkour or low ropes course.
