PLAN
WHAT to Bring & wear
Participants should come in play
clothes with comfortable shoes. They should dress appropriate for the
weather (we spend a lot of time outdoors).
Participants should bring plenty of
fluids, including a water bottle, a morning snack, a lunch, and an afternoon
snack. A backpack is a great idea for change of clothes, taking projects
home, and storing personal items. Participants may bring handheld game
systems. We use them as reinforcement and social capital. We are not
responsible for lost items.
OUTINGS
Every Wednesday, participants of
The Asperger's Summer Program go on outings. Here is a list of the 2010
outings, along with some important instructions.
Outing Instructions
On days that we will be swimming,
have your child come to The Program already wearing his/her swimsuit.
Please have your child come to the outings with sunblock already applied.
We will provide coolers for packed lunches. Kids can bring spending money
and/or recreational items. We are not responsible for lost or broken items.
Your child must be at the site and
ready to go by 9am. Your child can carpool with staff to the outings.
This is elective, and not a service. You are welcome to drop your
child off at the outing locations at 9:40. Outings are subject to change.
