REGISTRATION FOR 2027 SUMMER OPENS IN FEBRUARY 

Learning Disabilities Association of York-Simcoe's Summer Camp is designed for Children with a diagnosis of Learning Disabilities and/or ADHD and/or combined ASD.

This is a social skills program that supports children in developing emotional regulation, self-management, communication, and positive behaviour strategies. The program recognizes that behavioural challenges may occur while children learn and practice new skills.

Learning social skills should be fun, and that’s exactly what this program is all about!

About Skills Builders Adventure Camp

Our camp helps children ages 8–12 build:

• Confidence
• Friendships
• Communication skills

…through playful, hands-on activities and exciting group experiences.

Children work with friendly social coaches to practice important skills like:

• Making friends
• Handling teasing
• Being a good team member
• Managing big emotions
• Problem-solving
• Using anti-anxiety tools
• Building self-esteem

Activities include games, role-playing, teamwork, and more. Kids leave with skills they can use every day, all while having a great time.

Our program is based on the trusted PEERS® social skills curriculum, providing practical tools for real-life social situations.

Weekly Themes & Activities

Every week has a new adventure theme, such as:

• Magical discoveries
• STEM challenges
• Zoo explorations

Other fun activities include:

• Nature walks and outdoor exploration
• Arts and crafts projects
• Sports and active games
• Outdoor swimming and water fun (at select locations additional fees may apply*)

Each day is packed with laughter, creativity, and opportunities to grow.

By the end of the program, kids leave with new skills, new friendships, and plenty of great memories.

Please note: Skills Builder Adventure Camp is a social skills program that includes support for emotional regulation, self-regulation, and behavioural skills. Children may demonstrate behavioural challenges during the program, and staff will provide guidance and strategies to support skill development. This program is not a behaviour-free environment; it is a space where children learn and practice social and emotional skills.
