Wow, another big monster thanks to DPM Research for supporting our students again. Their generous donation will be going towards a Bespoke campaign from Beadle & Grimm called Spelljammer for our Dungeons & Dragons groups. As you know, D&D has been a wonderful aid when it comes to teaching Social skills.

So thank you again DPM, Go check out their biz and see the work they do w/ non profits, The private sector, higher education and Govt. Heck, maybe send them a thank you while you are at it:

Notes on the above groups:

  • Moving Forward: There is no social march 4. The students would like to bring back Moving Froward Group 2 where we do social outings.   Julie Bode has agreed to run bonus socials for the group on the Last Fri/Sat of each month.  I will address this in a future group email.
  • Just For Girls: We will continue meeting at Sunnyside. We will no longer do outings but will continue to have guests come in for workshops,  craft events and special meal nights.  There will be a small cover fee for those events.

What Our Clients Are Saying

I have accompanied clients for 2 summers to John's camp. I have been to the Social & Life Skills Camp and the 18 and older "Moving Forward Camp." My clients and myself look forward each summer to attending his camp. 
John has excellent behaviour management skills, teaches the clients social and life skills (planning your bus route, bus etiquette, looking at a menu and ordering, tipping, planning and organizing outings, getting to know people, body language, budgeting money, etc.) that are important to daily living as well as incorporating the clients' interests that are age appropriate. He develops a great relationship with the clients and jokes around with them to develop a rapport. Sometimes our daily schedule changes, which helps clients deal with changes that can occur in every day life. The clients develop friendships with each other and help each other out thanks to John's teaching. John allows the clients to make mistakes and encourages them to work as a team to solve the problem. John captures our daily outings on camera and/or film so parents can view their children interacting and having fun at camp. 

It is a great camp for fostering independence while incorporating your child's interest which in turn creates motivation! I have been to many summer camps and this camp is one of the top camps that my clients and myself look forward to attending each summer!
