Social Skills Today Camps
Camp can be a summertime oasis, providing a safe environment for children to relax, play and learn without the pressures they have during the school year. Camp creates a temporary community each summer in which campers participate in all kinds of activities with a staff of positive role models who continually monitor the “friendship making” process. Our Day Camps strives to teach children important life skills, including communication and social skills like the art of making and keeping friends. These skills will help them in childhood, adulthood, the workplace and beyond.

What is a typical day at Camp Journey like?
Breakfast is served at 8 AM each day of camp. Campers enjoy a hot breakfast served family-style supporting our social interaction focus. After breakfast, we have a camp meeting/social skills lesson, and the morning activities begin. Campers participate in two engaging camp activities until lunchtime. Lunch is again served family-style to promote social interaction and build friendships. We have a break/quiet period following lunch where campers are given an opportunity to rest, watch a movie, play board games, etc. before the afternoon activities. The two afternoon activities and our evening social skills lesson conclude just before dinner is served. Following the evening meal campers prepare for the evening activity. Our evening activities are often the most talked-about activities of the day. These large group activities allow campers the opportunity to get to know campers outside of their own cabins and activity groups. Once the evening activity is over campers are often eager to get to bed after this action-packed day.
