We are now offering our 6th annual Summer Social Skills camp. This is a social skills development camp for boys and girls between the ages of 6-10 years old.  The basic layout for the camp is to have group discussions and activities relating to a specific topic in the morning and have time for fun games and activities in the afternoon. Some of the topics that will be covered include, bullying, team building, problem solving, and respect.
