CAMP BE A FRIEND

Camp Be A Friend is a week-long day camp for children with autism and their neuro-typical peers. This camp teaches inclusion, adaptability, and social skills. With it's purposeful placement at the end of each summer, prior to school beginning, this camp gives kids a chance to get back into the routine of school before heading back into the full routine of school. This program assists in transitioning back to school and making the transition less stressful for all kids.

CAMP WEEK

What do I pack to send with my camper? A packing list will be posted as we get closer to camp!
Is transportation available? If you indicate you are interested in transportation for your child, we will be in touch via email. Transportation departs from Eisenhower School's lower parking lot and drops off in the same lot.
Why does my child have a hospital band on? Simply put, so it's easier for them to know which group they are with and so we can keep track of food allergies and sensitivities easily.
What if my child gets sick during camp week? Please do NOT send your camper to camp if they are sick! Call our office at (563) 552-1771 to inform us they will not be coming.
