BIA Clubhouse: Where Friendship Rules: Summer Camp: Friendship Rocks, Day 5

The Clubhouse is the Behavioral Intervention Association's (http://www.bia4autism.org) after-school program. Once a week, children between the ages of 5 and 12, who have communication and social challenges, meet and engage in fun activities to practice different social skills. The Explorers focus on skills such as staying with the group, greetings, turn taking, participating independently in activities, and brief exchanges with peers. The Adventurers focus on skills such as initiating and maintaining conversations, perspective taking, and negotiating with peers.

Summer Camp: Friendship Rocks, Day 5

Another exciting day at camp: As always we started off the day with free play and our Clubhouse camp chant. Two of us stand in front of the whole group and lead the chant (a great way of practicing talking in front of a group as well as greetings).

Here is how the chant goes:
Friendship.
Group: What?
Friendship.
Group: Rocks!

The two campers, who led the chant, then each pick a picture of another camper from the roll call board and greet those campers by handing the picture over to them.

We received our super fun Clubhouse hats and of course we had to take some pictures:

We also would like to thank our wonderful volunteers Elizabeth, Addey and Amanda. All three are full of energy, enthusiasm, dedication and commitment and help make our camp run smoothly. YOU ROCK!!!

Elizabeth, Addey, Amanda!
