What to Expect at Camp
Student clinicians play an active role in daily camp life. You plan and lead therapy sessions, support campers during activities, lead a small group master class, participate in team meetings, and help create a positive, engaging environment for all participants.
Camp days are structured, energetic, and collaborative — and there is also time to build connections, enjoy camp traditions, and celebrate camper successes.
