Project hosted by

HANDS ON is a camp where young people acquire social skills, learn and practice Social Thinking in a supportive environment. All campers participate daily in a social group dedicated to organizing and distributing clothing and essential goods to families in need and also supporting children in spending their vacation time, which focuses on the social learning of concepts necessary for everyday life. Campers work hard to achieve camp goals but also to identify their own social goals and to try new strategies as they navigate the week at camp. HANDS ON focuses on teaching campers how to think and solve problems in social situations rather than relying on cues or changes in the external environment around the camper.
