During a week at Camp Lakey Gap with 1:1 and 1:2 staff support, people with autism develop strong social skills and self esteem by experiencing success with peers, being empowered to take leadership roles, successfully trying new things, and being supported in a positive and loving environment.
Camp Lakey Gap recognizes that each person with autism brings their unique point of view to camp. At all of our activities we strive to cater to your camper's individual needs and interests. Whether it is insects, reptiles, outer space, Pokemon, Thomas the Tank Engine, or Star Wars, we find a way to help your camper enjoy Camp Lakey Gap in their way.
We are offering a day camp experience for three days for campers with autism who would like to give camp a try, but are not ready to spend the night. Day Camp will run Wednesday through Friday July 4-6th and go from 8:30 – 5:30. Campers will experience the same camp activities that we provide during our overnight camp program, and the small groups will be split up according to age. With the support of your camper's counselor they are encouraged to explore the camp environment and try activities like arts and crafts, hiking, outdoor games, swimming, music, creek games, music and motion, canoeing and lake play.
Seven weeks of camp offered - June 10 through July 22, 2012
