Our summer camps are designed to offer wilderness and outdoor camp experiences to the "nontraditional" camper. Campers will spend eight days and seven nights exploring the south east's scenic wilderness and their own infinite potentials.
Ideal candidates for this program are children, ages 8-17, navigating:
Neurobiological Disorders, Aspergers, Learning Disabilities, Nonverbal Learning Disabilities, High Functioning Autism, Pervasive Developmental Delays and ADHD.
Aerie's programs provide unique experiences that integrate and promote the overall individual treatment plan of each camper. Aerie coordinates directly with parents, practitioners and educators providing ongoing services in order to prepare each camper for the wilderness journey and to offer follow-up regarding the camper's response to the summer camp experience. All summer camps include:
Treatment team consultation with involved practitioners and schoolsDischarge summary and consultation. Option for a pre-camp in home visit (Ga and NC) to familiarize the camper and parents with our staff and the trip. We find this helps reduce anxiety for both our campers and parents.
