Children with Nonverbal Learning Disabilities, Asperger’s Syndrome, High Functioning Autism, or PDD-NOS need a therapeutic, structured and nurturing environment in order to learn, practice and master social skills. Camp Maple Leaf offers opportunities for campers to expand their social skills while having fun, learning new leisure activities, and taking social risks. This productive and supportive environment is fostered by trained peer guides and highly qualified staff who are dedicated to a kind and professional learning environment. Campers will: • participate in activities that will enhance appropriate social skills. • be provided with opportunities to develop friendships in a carefully structured, nurturing environment. • learn skills to appropriately manage sensory issues that can transfer to the home and school environment. • have many opportunities to have fun! Families members will: • benefit from scheduled presentations and discussions with Dr. Dean Mooney held throughout the week during the camp day. • enjoy planned social outings with other families from around the country who share your parenting/family experiences.
