Apr. 17, 2006 - Summer Camp for Kids with Autism
What's Your Kid Doing this Summer???
For many teens and preteens, summer is a time to immerse themselves in
rigorous sports activities which challenge the mind and body. Now,
children and teens with autism can have the same opportunities.
Extreme Sports Camp is an overnight summer camp in Aspen, Colorado,
where older children with autism spectrum disorders can safely engage
in sustained physical activities and find personal growth through a
supportive, individualized, and adaptive program of recreational sports.

The sports chosen by Extreme Sports Camp foster motor planning and
skills that can lead to higher cognitive function and improved
behavior. The activities chosen can be individualized, are free of
complicated rules, and are intrinsically fun and motivating to the
average ASD child no matter what level of mastery they have achieved.
Our core program consists of wall/rock climbing, hiking, horseback
riding and water sports (rafting, swimming, skiing and tubing).
Extreme Sports Camp enrollment is limited to boys and girls ages 8-18.
Campers participate in activities as a group but have the benefit of one to one camper/buddy interaction.
Camp activities take place in the beautiful town of Aspen, Colorado,
and the surrounding Roaring Fork Valley, a setting ideal for outdoor
recreation.

Additionally, Extreme Sports Camp is looking for Junior & Adult Counselors for Summer 2006.

camper/counselor enrollment forms. We look forward to seeing you in
Aspen!
