About This Activity
FACT is proud to host Summer Camp at the FACT Autism Resource Center! Who: Volunteers / peers who are interested in participating and accepting roles as a peer for our campers at Summer Camp Please note: FACT employs a knowledgeable compassionate staff that works on a 1:2 ratio with campers. Every camper is assigned a typical “peer buddy” volunteer that models expected behavior and offers acceptance and encouragement. FACT utilizes a variety of communication tools, best practices in behavior management, and ongoing positive reinforcement. Volunteers may volunteer up to three weeks. Each volunteer is required to attend a training prior to volunteering for camp. If you would like to volunteer for more, please call the office for approval (757) 422-2040. What: Camp GonnawannaGOagin'! FACT hosts a fun-filled, action-packed day camp in Virginia Beach for individuals ages 6 and up with the primary diagnosis of autism. For these individuals, Camp is a haven from the daily struggles of learning, communicating with, and interpreting the world around them. We firmly believe that “children with autism are children first.” Camp GonnawannGOagin’ offers everything a typical day camp for children would offer: swimming, field trips, and friendship! Where: FACT Autism Resource Center- 3509 Virginia Beach Blvd, VB, VA 23452 TIME: You will receive an email assigning your camp drop off and pick up time slots. First session= drop off and pick up between 8:40-8:50am and 2:50-3:00pm. Second session=drop off and pick up between 9:00-9:10am and 3:10-3:20pm.
