"Camp Adventure" at Aspen for Students With Special Needs




Parents and students, a great opportunity is available to us. Aspen Athletic Club on SE 14th St., not far from our school district boundary lines, is offering a Social Skills and Fitness after-school program for students with special needs. The program is for kids between the ages of 5 and 18. The program is designed and taught by Special Education Teachers and Associates, some with connections to our own school district! The classes at the SE 14th location are during the week and a similar program is held on Saturdays at the Hickman Avenue location. The program has a 1 to 4 teacher to student ratio, so your child will get lots of teacher time and teacher help. The classes include Homework Assistance this year as well! The program feels it is most successful with kids with ADHD, Asperger's, PDD-NOS, High Functioning Autism, and down syndrome, but any kids with special needs could see the benefits and are more than welcome to seek more information about the program. If you want more information about the program, please contact Adam Feierstein. I have placed his contact information below. The program beings August 22nd and holds a Winter Break camp as well from December 26th through December 30th. Please contact Ben Barry at the middle school if you have questions as well. Thanks and I hope some of our families and students can take advantage of this great program!
