Prince George Day Camp Descriptions
Life Skills! (Ages 7-9)
This group is all about emergent life skills!
We collaborate to explore and practice essential daily living skills tailored to each learner’s unique needs. Our activities are flexible and can be customized to suit the abilities and goals of every individual. Together, we will focus on personal care, health and safety, daily chores, financial management, communication, and social skills, among other areas. Our goal is to empower participants to navigate their home and community with greater independence.

Eco Adventure Camp! (Ages 10-13)
Eco Adventures Day Camp offers a fun outdoor pursuit each day of the week!
Participants will explore different locations and activities throughout their community in our small-group social skill building process. Each day, two staff meet the group of 6 to 8 participants at the location for that day’s adventure. They plan out the activity together, embark, break for snacks, continue/return to the pick up site. Whether hiking, adventure/challenge gaming, or exploring… each day will increase their mindfulness in nature, as well as their social skills, while exploring parks, beaches, streams, hikes, geo-caching and other challenging activities that deepen their love of the outdoors!

Stories & Crafts (Ages 8-14)
This Day Camp is designed for those who prefer a quieter slower pace and have an interest in stories and crafting!
During each session, staff and participants read parts of a chosen novel, taking breaks to discuss the ideas as they arise. The participants also use crafts as an opportunity to dive deep into a story and learn more about the characters, setting, and plot. Students are immersed in the novel in a variety of fun ways!
Consistent with this gentle pace, this Day Camp highlights group dynamics, creativity and emotional engagement through fun activities with like-minded peers!

Each session offers a variety of enriching experiences, including individual discovery and building time, one-on-one attention, small group tutorials, and group sharing sessions. These activities are thoughtfully designed to give participants ample opportunities to practice their social skills, collaborate with others, and expand their roles within the group. Whether your child is a seasoned builder or just starting, our camp provides a supportive and engaging environment for all.
