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": Volunteer Marley

Featured Blogger MARLEY. Marley, 11 years old, volunteered for 1 week at our summer camp. THANK YOU, Marley.


Here is her entry describing her experience:

Clubhouse is a great experience for many children. I really enjoyed volunteering. There were quite a few responsibilities. For example, I took pictures and set up games. I also had to interact, and play with the children, while they were playing. 

There were many fun and exciting activities. Some were art projects, and some were games.The children had lots of fun participating in the games. This one boy, laughed more than anyone else in the camp.

One of the most loved activities, were the stations. The first station was water beads. The other ones were magnets and sand, ice and water, and  water and funnels. In the ice station, there were colored ice cubes, water, and toys and nets. The colored ice cubes colored the water when they melted. It was fun watching the children play all of the games.


Volunteering was fun because I had a chance to help children and have an awesome summer! I had a great time volunteering!
