Online Summer Camp Programs 2020
Students with various needs and abilities such as ADHD, “Giftedness”, High Functioning Autism, “Asperger’s”, Social Anxiety and other exceptionalities are especially vulnerable to declining academic, social, emotional and behavioral skills this summer.
The Support for Students Growth Center Breaks “Out-Of-The-Box” by Creating an Online Summer Camp Experience for Children and Teens who may have ADHD, ”Giftedness”, High-Functioning Autism/”Asperger’s”, and/or Social Anxiety and other Exceptionalities.
It is looking like the Summer of 2020 is going to be anything but “normal” for both parents and their children. Summer camps are typically a place to relax, have fun, develop social relationships and acquire new skills. However, due to COVID-19, there is going to be a critical need for an Online Summer camp experience that is both fun and impactful. Our objective is to make home-based summer camp as valued, fun and appealing for young people who may have a variety of abilities or additional needs.
Dr. Eric Nach, President of the Support for Students Growth Center (since 2012) and his team of Licensed Mental Health Counselors, Certified Special Education Teachers, Licensed Clinical Psychologist and Certified Behaviorists, are trained professionals that have many year’s experience in how to inspire, motivate, counsel and treat children and teens who are “wired” a little differently than their peers.
Each unique camp experience will meet Monday through Friday at the same time, led by the same experienced professional counselor and will have the same group of campers for each 2-week camp.
Three different camps, based on grade… #1 (grades 3-5), #2 (grades 6-8) and #3 (grades 9-12).
Each camp will be small, with only campers of similar age.
Camps run between 2 and 6 weeks in length, you can purchase 1 or 2 hours per day.
First session June-15 – June 26
Second session June 29- July 10
Third session July 13 – July 24
*Every day of camp throughout the summer will have different activities.
Instead of the endlessly staring-at-their-screens this summer, our camps offer interactive projects, socialization, activities and learning. The Support for Students Growth Center Live Online Summer Camps include an actual camp counselor who will engage and empower your child, in small groups of similarly aged campers, throughout the program. Our fun and engaging camp include topics that cover reading, science, art, social skills, executive functioning and much more, so no matter the interest, we have a virtual camp for them.
Each week of camps will close out when capacity is reached or 5 days before the camp is scheduled to begin. Don’t leave your child with nothing to do this summer, register now!
