This August Reach Child and Youth Development Society will offer a LEGO-based social skills camp for children who have autism from the ages of seven to 12.
The camp will be held at George Mackie Library in North Delta Aug. 26 to 30, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
“There will be LEGO building activities and lessons on how to make friends,” said Reach behavior consultant Kelly MacGregor. “We’ll even have some LEGO Boost robotics and coding. This will be a really fun summer camp for kids who love LEGO and Autism Funding can be used.”
Content at the camp will be based on resources by Dr. Daniel LeGoff and the Children’s Friendship Training curriculum by Frankel and Myatt. Activities will include freestyle LEGO builds, LEGO games, mini-figure designs and builds, LEGO crafts and outside activities. Instruction in friendship skills will take place daily and MacGregor will provide the social skills instruction and a Behaviour Interventionist will support children at the camp. Contact Kelly for more information at 604-946-6622 ext 382.
