Nature Adventure Camp Weekend
Who is the Camp For?
The
Adventure and Special Days Together has been founded to help meet the needs of
families living with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). The Adventure Weekend Camp is for families of
any configuration with a child under 18 years old who has been diagnosed on the Autism
Spectrum.
Come join us for a weekend filled with camaraderie and special
events. We will be having a nature adventure themed camp which will tie together
our art, stories, songs and games.
Families are invited to participate in as much group fun as they like or
enjoy the opportunity to enjoy quiet times together as a family.
A volunteer worker will be on-hand to assist each family. Some families
might want to plan special time with each child. Some parents might enjoy taking
turns napping in a hammock, participating in a therapist led discussion group,
or enjoying a visit to the spa for a massage!
Sleeping accommodations are in a lodge which has a kitchenette for snacks
and a lounge area for socializing after the kids are asleep. Each bedroom has a
private bathroom and a king size or two twin beds. Roll away beds and air
mattresses are available for extra sleeping space. We are planning on one room
per family (remember, this is about togetherness!) so that we may accommodate as
many families as possible.
Another lodge, just down a wooded path, is where most of the activities will
be centered. This is where the dining room, art area and play room are located.
If the weather is hot we will have sprinkler games on the grass outside the
building.
Outdoor activities are the natural focus in
June. A playground with
swings and climbing structures is next to the bonfire pit, basketball and
tennis courts. We will have volunteers leading non competitive games through out
the day. There are also loads of hiking trails.
The focus of the weekend is for families to experience a change of pace,
enjoy each other and leave feeling rejuvenated.
