These may include following multi-step oral or written instructions, identifying satisfactory task completion, taking inventory in our canteen or helping to prepare meals or set up the dining hall for lunch or dinner.

The focus is primarily on skills required for the workplace such as filling out forms, increasing both written and oral communication skills, and working on money skills. Goals are tailored to each camper’s particular needs. The individualized activities are initially based on our assessment during the camper application and interview process, and a camper’s current IEP and continually modified as we learn more about campers skills and needs. The program uses a money based token economy in which campers can earn money for positive participation, work completion and progress toward goals which can later be spent at the Fun Ac store. Campers can decide whether to spend earned money each session or save up for more valuable items. Either way, they are responsible, to the maximum extent possible for taking charge of their own money, calculating how much they have available to spend, how much their desired item costs and what their current FunAc balance is.[/bsf-info-box][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=”” row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”full_width” angled_section=”no” text_align=”left” background_image_as_pattern=”without_pattern”][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”82px”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=”” row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”full_width” angled_section=”no” text_align=”left” background_image_as_pattern=”without_pattern”][vc_column offset=”vc_hidden-xs”][vc_single_image image=”16971″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” qode_css_animation=””][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=”” row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”full_width” angled_section=”no” text_align=”left” background_image=”16249″ background_image_as_pattern=”without_pattern” padding_top=”90″ padding_bottom=”90″][vc_column][vc_row_inner row_type=”row” type=”full_width” text_align=”left” css_animation=””][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1453301117685{padding-top: 60px !important;padding-right: 60px !important;padding-bottom: 60px !important;padding-left: 60px !important;background-color: rgba(194,123,160,0.74) !important;*background-color: rgb(194,123,160) !important;}”]
