Stepping Forward Counseling Center Summer Camp

Stepping Forward Counseling Center Summer Camp for Kids With Psychological and Mental Disorders

Summer C.A.M.P. (Clinically Advanced Multi-Modality Program) offers a summer of sun, fun, and friends at their all inclusive summer camp. Each summer program runs for 8-10 weeks, with a 2 consecutive week minimum for results.

Each camper has 7 objectives: 4 group goals and 3 individual goals. The campers are assessed on their performance on these 7 objectives throughout the three or four environments the individual engages in each day. The objectives can be, but are not limited to, increasing impulse control, cooperating with peers, adapting to losing, concentration or staying on task, sharing with others and the art of conversation. SFCC uses a behavioral program to replace ineffective, inappropriate behaviors with positive and effective behaviors. Because the camp environments are similar to the camper’s natural environments, it is very likely that the behaviors taught at SFCC will generalize to the individual’s natural settings (home, school, etc.).

Modalities – Behavior Modification, Token Economy, Modeling+Rehearsal Training, Individual Behavior Therapy, Psychiatric Consultation+ Therapy, Social and Emotional Skill Training, ABA

Summer C.A.M.P. staff members are hand-selected professionals that are licensed clinical staff, master level interns, Special Education Teachers, Ph.D.’s or Recreation Therapist.
