Move, Think, Create, and Communicate is designed to fill the gap created when Extended School Year (ESY) programs finish and there is a break before the new school year.  Our campers enjoy a safe, fun camp environment that includes the following:

• Visual supports that enhance language comprehension and prediction
• Sensory-based activities that enhance a camper’s ability to take advantage of language and communication opportunities
• Relaxation techniques that enhance self-regulation
• Daily living routines are incorporated into camp activities as appropriate
• Staff and program content support play skills, social skills and participation in group activities
• Camp facilities (such as the pool and nature trails) offer gross motor activities that satisfy sensory needs and encourage communication

Move, Think, Create and Communicate  has the necessary elements, including a low camper-to-counselor ratio and trained, highly skilled staff, to offer children with ASD a supportive educational camp experience.
