FAMILY WEEKEND
What to Expect
Family involvement and consistency is a CRITICAL component for your child's success, so they will maintain their summer camp RESET. We can "fix 'em" while they are with us, but if we send them back to the same situation they came from, without family understanding and supportive adjustments, it likely won't stick.
They need YOU to set the standard, participate in the "new plan" and truly be partners with them into the future.
DAY ONE - FRIDAY
DAY TWO - SATURDAY
DAY THREE - SUNDAY
Parents arrive on the final Friday of the
4-week session, in time to join us for lunch.
Friday is the time to observe and learn about your camper's journey during their time at camp. You will get to meet their friends and the camp staff, see how they have adapted to their living situation and dorm mates and learn about their routines and newly developed skills!
Group activities, dinner and an educational session completes the day's activities.
Parents then stay in their own dorm room, on campus, to experience first-hand what their camper has been up to.
Beginning with breakfast, parents are included in the typical routine of the day, from room responsibilities, final laundry loads, an abbreviated culinary class, toa group therapeutic rotation.
After lunch, we all participate in group interactions and activities, along with additional educational sessions, before and after dinner.
Sunday, we wrap-up!
We introduce many resources for continued success, includingaccess to the Game Quitters.com parent and peer groups, and we discuss the Behavioral Contract.
After Care follow-up assignments and schedules are set, and time is made availablefor any individual conversations that families may desire with the clinical staff and/or Clinical Director.
