Social Skills Summer Camps

[Guest guest]

Two-Week

Community Camp Intensive, $700

June

11-22, 2012 or July 30-August 10, 2012, 9am-2pm

Join

Social Skills Playhouse for one or both of our experiential community-based

summer camps. We aim to fine tune, practice, and generalize our P.E.O.P.L.E.

curriculum out in the community while having fun and making lasting

friendships. Camps are targeted to serve 25-30 students with typical peers and

five Social Coaches.

These

fun-filled days will take place at specific community locations such as martial

arts classes, movies, library, etc.

Students

are grouped in smaller teams or “cohorts†of approximately six similarly-aged

peers led by a Social Coach. We will have at least one girls’ cohort (ages 8-13)

and four boys’ cohorts (ages 5-7, 8-10, 11-12, and 13-16). Each team acts as a

small peer group that bonds, tests each other's skills, and functions as a

cohesive support system.
