Our morning focuses on innovative Lab Programs. Each camper receives individual assistance and instruction within a group framework. Our carefully planned and closely monitored Skills Lab, Life Management Program, and Behavior Adjustment Group, teaches the camper to gain self worth, take on responsibility, follow instructions, develop organizational skills, control impulsivity, adhere to social norms, and equally important - HAVE FUN!
