REACH Ahead Camp

For Campers Entering Grades 10 - 12 (Please note that campers 18+ are not eligible)

The REACH Ahead Program is a small, structured, and supportive camp designed for older adolescents with disabilities who benefit from continued intervention during the summer months. This program focuses on social skills, daily living skills, independence, and transition readiness in a safe and predictable environment. REACH Ahead is designed for older teens who benefit from inclusion but are ready for greater autonomy, responsibility, and choice. Campers will have the support of volunteers who will help guide them through the social-emotional experience of their camp day while being led by a professional Board Certified Behavioral Analyst. The program emphasizes life skills, social communication, teamwork, and leadership. Workshops will be held on campus in the morning with several trips around campus and in the community in the afternoon, rounding out this full day experience. As this program is quite specialized, an application process is required. If you register without a prior approval, your camper may not be eligible for our staffing or consulting services.
