The Empower Me!! Summer Camp allows children to participate in a camp atmosphere who may not ordinarily be able to take part. ThedaCare offers separate weeks of camp for children diagnosed with ADHD and High Function Autism. While many of the activities between the two camps are similar, each week offers specialized activities that center around that particular week of camp. The 5-day camp offers your child the opportunity to begin developing skills that can assist them in improving their interactions with other children. In this safe and supportive environment, your child will participate in a number of activities designed to be fun and educational in nature.
These activities include:
• Ropes Course
• CHAPS (Children with Horses Achieving Productivity and Success) - an equine-based approach to learning social skills
• Yoga
• Social Skills Training
• Music Therapy
• Art Activities
• Experiential Activities
Parent and Child Orientation
An essential component of the EMPOWER ME!! camp is the orientation. On the Sunday prior to the week of camp, you and your child will be asked to participate in the orientation. This orientation will provide you with an overview of what your child will be doing during the course of the week as well as provide you with further education on strategies to allow your child to begin meeting their potential. Your child will also have the opportunity to begin connecting with other campers.
