CAMP TAKODA OVERNIGHT CAMP 2009

Location:
Camp Winnataska
260 Winnataska Drive
Pell City, AL 35128

DO NOT REGISTER FOR THIS CAMP THROUGH CAMP WINNATASKA!

Registration
You can register for camp online if you are currently an AASCG client. If you are not a client of AASCG, we will need to have an initial consultation to determine if we will be able to meet your needs at Camp Takoda. Campers must be at least 8 years old at the time of camp to participate.

We will have two age categories for camp participation: 2nd - 4th grade, 5th - 9th grade.

Once you have notified us of your attendance at camp, we will send you a camper packet with more information about camp, as well as required forms for participation in camp.

Medical Attention
There is a full time nurse on staff for all medical and medication needs.

Meals
Meals are basic, but we do request that parents send special food if you child is on a strict GFCF diet. Most of our campers are just picky eaters and/or have very simple allergies that we can accommodate within planned meals. Please list all allergies on your camper form. Meal prices are included in the cost of camp. Campers will be eating 3 meals per day in the dining hall, with occasional snack breaks at the canteen. Campers will not need additional money for the canteen.

Activities
Daily activities include swimming, canoes, crafts, recreation, outdoors, low ropes course, fishing, hiking, cookouts, sports and games, riflery and archery. In year's past, a usual highlight has always been "war ball." The thing our campers most enjoy about camp is the evening activities. Campers will enjoy Wacky Tacky night, Indian night/bonfire, as well as a new surprise evening activity this year.

The pool staff are certified lifeguards who give swim tests at the beginning of the camp. Lifeguards observe the campers free swim periods while other staff swim with campers to keep everyone engaged in interactive with each other.

Behavior
Overnight camp is our way to help students with Asperger Syndrome to get a typical camp experience. To be effective, we have to provide more support than most camps would often provide. We believe that overnight camp is a great opportunity for our students to increase independence and summer experiences.

During camp, we have several staff members dedicated to only behavior. The behavior we have seen in the past is typically very minor -- usually convincing a student to try something new or helping a camper organize and keep up with their belongings. However, we feel it is important to have staff that understands Asperger Syndrome with our campers at all times to keep camp a successful experience for everyone.

These staff members are adults that have often worked with AASCG throughout the year, and often know our campers well before going to camp. We believe this adds to our success rather than having 20+ new campers that no one knows well.

Cost: $315
