We are strength-focused!

You would also be helping the campers work on personal growth goals that address the common ADHD/LD challenges of disorganization, poor social skills, or impulsive behavior. At the end of each course, staff will write an evaluation on each student that highlights their areas of strength and details their progress toward these goals.
