Avanti-Camp St. Croix is an intensive sensory integration summer camp. Camp Avanti is a unique summer camp program that combines a challenging camp environment with an intensive Sensory Integration treatment approach. Campers will participate each day in a broad range of activities planned for fun and therapeutic benefit, and receive occupational therapy utilizing neurobehavioral theories. Every camper's program is individually created and continually updated throughout the week. The goal is to provide a total treatment environment within the fun of the camp experience.
The overnight camp is designed for boys and girls, ages 8 to 12, and the day camp for ages 6 to 8, who have average or above average intelligence, but have diagnosed learning disabilities and/or sensory integrative dysfunction. These children may have poor coordination, attention deficits, hyperactivity, inadequate motor planning skills, and/or sensory processing disorders.
Because Camp Avanti has been designed for group experience, therapeutic support is geared toward the facilitation of peer interaction with camp activities. Staff/camper ratio is three staff to eight children during daytime activities.
Activities Include:
Canoeing, kayaking, sailing, outdoor games, hiking, nature activities, arts and crafts, music, swimming, horseback riding, and the sensory integration based WonderLab.
Campfire is a special opportunity for singing, self expression, and camaraderie. Demonstrations of Native American lore and drumming are popular. Underlying foundations for the success of Avanti-Camp St. Croix include principles of occupational therapy that reflect the therapeutic value of the camp experience. Camp activities and environment are used as therapeutic tools to facilitate children's development. Small group experiences provide a safe and nurturing emotional/social environment which facilitates new challenges.
