BIA Clubhouse: Where Friendship Rules: Summer Camp: Saying Good-Bye

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: Saying Good-Bye

Today was our last day of camp and it was sad to say good-bye to our friends. We made a special treat, namely "A Beach in a Cup" to wrap up the summer and played our favorite games one more time.

Here is the recipe:

Put jello on the bottom half of the cup.

Put Graham crackers in a Ziploc bag and crush with rolling pin.

Top the blue dessert with crushed Graham crackers.

Add Swedish fish as decoration.

We had a great summer together: We made new friends, strengthened our friendship skills and learned lots of new games.

A BIG THANK YOU TO EVERYONE AT HENRY J. KAISER ELEMENTARY SCHOOL IN OAKLAND FOR LETTING US USE THEIR BEAUTIFUL SCHOOL FOR OUR CAMP.

WE HOPE TO SEE YOU ALL AGAIN SOON.
