Camp SSTAR 2010 date set for June 7th - June 25th

Camp SSTAR was created to provide children with Asperger syndrome and high functioning autism the opportunity to participate in a camp experience in a fun, structured, and nurturing environment.  Individuals participate in camp activities such as hiking, fishing, arts and crafts, field day, and a variety of team building events.  Camp SSTAR provides opportunities for individuals to engage in social activities that focus on social skills, communication, team building, and leadership while promoting lasting friendships.  Campers are assigned to groups including the reporters, producers, and apprentices.  Each group attends camp for one week. Individuals learn a variety of social skills while interacting with their teams and engaging in various social activities throughout the week. The camp will continue to provide consistency delivered through an educational model that translates into successful experiences for the campers in their home, school and community.

Summer camp for some children means staying away from home, swimming, hiking, fishing, and making friends. For Camp SSTAR campers, it means that and a whole lot more. Camp SSTAR delivers similar camp experiences as well as tools or keys for social success. These keys are vital for communication, relationships, friendships, and most of all happiness. These keys are made up of social skills that assist each camper as they go back to their families, their schools, and the community. Used appropriately, these keys give them the opportunities that each of us have to be a part of a world that is very social, very loud, and very busy... in essence, the keys to success!
