Social Saturday

In 2015 we launched our first Social Saturday program. We chose curriculum that focused on specific skills and we used multiple modalities of learning (after all, no two people are exactly alike!). By incorporating art, drama, cooking and game-based learning, our students were excited to be able take what they learned back to their homes and schools and practice. Imagine our excitement when they came back Saturday after Saturday with success stories of how they used what they had learned and how it really worked for them!

We now offer several classes on Saturday and we will continue to build on them each new session. We utilize  ACCESS (Adolescent Curriculum for Communication and Effective Social Skills) in conjunction with other sources that are specifically designed for middle, high school and beyond.  The information is presented in a fun way that is easy to apply to everyday situations.  We cover skills that allow our students to relate to others, explore their world and increase their ability to socialize and maintain friendships.

Great friends, exciting activities, and an atmosphere that lets our young people be themselves are just three of the reasons why camp is so much fun! Research has shown that camp offers the kinds of experiences that are critical to adolescents eventually becoming successful, productive adults. 

​Camp Free2BMe is a unique summer day camp offering social skills programming combined with recreational opportunities to children and young adults ages 13  and up. Each week is focused on a specific skill and is learned through outings, art, music, themed activities, individual and group projects. We practice skills out in the community three to four days per week. RAIN uses an evidence based peer to peer model in all of our programs. Peer to peer support programs and inclusion of students with ASD not only contributes to positive outcomes for the campers with ASD, but can also impact a number of outcomes for peers.
