CAMP SUMMIT- 2013
The Autism Society of Maine holds a summer camp program for children ages 5-15 with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). The purpose of this program is to develop effective communication skills and peer relationships in a social group setting. This summer program will consist of structured activities supervised by two professionals, and 12-16 college students or paraprofessionals participating in a field experience and earning credits towards their degrees and/or professions.
This summer camp program takes place in Farmington during the month of August. This is a two week day program that runs Mondays through Thursdays from 10 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. There are two separate camp sessions.
