About Skills Builders Adventure Camp

Our camp helps children ages 8–12 build:

  • Confidence

  • 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.
