Kids Connection Social Skills Program

Kids Connection is a social skills program providing a fun and engaging experience to all the children. In the program the campers work in teams. There are lessons, games, activities, projects,  and races all targeted to help teach, promote, and support social interactions. The goal is for our campers to understand different emotions and display coping skills. As our campers practice these skills, their confidence and self-esteem grow. 

Kids Connection is a program for children with anxiety and self-esteem issues. In the past we have had students with high-functioning autism, mild learning disabilities, and even general education students who struggle with working in groups and developing peer relationships. We accept students with ADHD, learning disabilities, anxiety, shyness, or obsessive-compulsiveness.

This is an integrated program which offers multiple opportunities for all campers to work on skills such as: 

Physical:  Increase fitness, motor skills, and teamwork

Social/Emotional: Includes communication skills, and dealing with emotions

Mindfulness: Includes practicing simple exercises to practice daily mindfulness

Game time:  Turn taking, winning/losing, and cheering on others

Team Building Activities:  Every day the campers are assigned to different teams and they work together on different activities.
