Autism Day Camp
Therapeutic Day Programs for Youth on the Spectrum
In the summer of 2008, Mount Olivet Rolling Acres began offering therapeutic day camp sessions for youth on the autism spectrum. The location is our campus on Schutz Lake in Victoria, originally a summer camp. It is a picturesque and serene environment that is the perfect backdrop to a comfortable camp-like experience. Facilities include a computer lab with multiple stations, a gymnasium with fitness and sensory equipment, a waterfront with beach, boats, and fishing, extensive grounds with in-ground trampolines, a recreation room with multiple games and activities. For the summer of 2011, we are offering 7 weeks of day camp from June through August.
The Summer Program sessions at MORA are for youth, age 9 to 16. These are small group (4 to 8 per session) programs, designed for those children that need an alternative to more traditional summer day camp programs, including those with significant behavior challenges. The program has a structure that is socially engaging to youth, but has the flexibility to meet individual interests with regards to preferences and environment. Program emphasis is on increasing knowledge in areas of interest, while building social skills, learning coping skills, and increasing physical fitness in a low stress environment.
This year, a limited number of $300 camperships are available to applicants who do not have other funding for camp.
