Social Circle will focus on:

Leadership and self‑advocacy
Navigating friendships and group dynamics
Managing stress and emotions
Problem‑solving in real‑life situations
Building routines that support well-being

Through team missions, life‑skills practice, creative projects, and leadership opportunities, campers are encouraged to take ownership of their growth and support one another along the way.
Less lectures, more real talk, teamwork, and confidence‑building challenges.
*Age ranges may vary in order to ensure programming is meaningful and individualized to the diverse needs of all campers!

When: August 4 to 7 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Who can attend: Children ages 13 to 18 with autism and/or developmental disabilities
Location: 54 Brant Ave.
Cost: Thanks to available funding, the weekly camp rate is subsidized to $500 per camper
Registration: To create low-stimulation, supportive learning environments, group sizes are limited to a maximum of eight children. With limited space available, families are encouraged to register early.
