Kamp Krayola offers a great summer
experience for young children ages 3 to 14 who have a developmental disability
and moderate to severe behavior challenges. The camp operates weekdays from
8:00a.m. to 6:00p.m. during the summer when the public schools are closed
and parents have few options available for their child. Children may enroll
in one or more sessions. The camp is based at ARC Broward campus located
at 10250 N.W. 53rd Street, Sunrise. Kamp Krayola will offer a variety
of socialization, leisure and recreational services to enhance the development
of appropriate socialization and adaptive skills for children with developmental
disabilities, specifically mental retardation or autism, who have moderate
to severe behavioral challenges. These children require additional supports
that are not generally present in typical summer camps. Specialized
socialization, leisure and recreational activities are valuable and facilitate
efforts to remove barriers and encourage the children's full participation
in a broad range of community opportunities with proper support and supervision.
