SIGN UP NOW FOR A WEEK-LONG
SPRING BREAK DAY CAMP!
(limited enrollment)
CLO’s 2011 day camp program for kids with autism, ages 6 to
18, is now open for registration.
Camp at Midnight Farm is simply a blast with activities like crafts and
sing-along’s in our beautiful lodge, animal petting in the adjoining
paddocks, and supported horseback riding in the huge indoor arena.
Midnight Farm’s 40 beautiful acres gives us plenty of room for riding in a
wagon pulled by Rick, our big Belgian draft horse; scavenger hunts;
visits to a big tipi and sing-n-story ring; and more.
Camp staffers are trained in the tenets of applied behavior analysis for
the purpose of teaching during camp activities.
Kids won’t be the only family members having fun at camp during our
week-long sessions in March and July. Parents can enjoy and benefit from
two days of training on empirically based techniques for reducing problem
behaviors and teaching communication skills, social skills, self-care, and
play, all for no additional fee.
I am looking forward to meeting you and your child with autism at
Midnight Farm.
