Summer Programs
Summer Programs 2022
We’re happy to offer “The Zone”, a fun, dynamic and inclusive summer day camp that empowers children aged 5-17 to build connections with their peers as they engage in a variety of age-appropriate interests and activities. While the focus is FUN for the participants, we’ve designed this awesome program around building social and emotional skills that can make it easier for children and teens to:
- develop emotional literacy and social awareness skills
- enhance relationships
- boost self-esteem
- learn to initiate and maintain positive relationships with others at home, at school, in recreational programs and other social environments
REGISTER ONLINE
Space is limited, so it’s important to register right away. To get started, select the grade your child will enter in the fall of 2022. Please note that a separate form must be completed for every registrant.
What’s great about our programs?
Aside from fantastic highly-trained leaders, an enthusiastic staff, a safe and secure learning space, kiddos who attend our day camps get to enjoy:
- Organized games, recreational activities, arts and crafts activities, role-playing and supervised off-site activities like rock climbing, bowling and swimming to promote friendship-building and cooperation.
- Making friends
- Developing verbal and non-verbal communication, perspective-taking, expressing and understanding feelings, recognizing “triggers”, solving problems and self-regulation.
- Adjusting activities to meet the ongoing needs of the participants.
- Individualized goals and objectives
- Hands-on social skill activities learned and applied in the environment and context where they are used.
We also offer a Parent Seminar where we discuss strategies and approaches we are using and empower parents to continue this work at home.
