The camp is held at Ursuline College in Pepper Pike, Ohio and takes advantage of the college's great wooded areas and sports fields. The Program offers five weeks of noncompetitive outdoor and indoor social activities to improve motor, verbal and social skills. For example, games and sports build motor skills and teach cooperation with others. Singing, drama and small discussion groups enhance verbal and social skills as well as self-confidence. Small groups help campers feel secure, encourage friendships and assist the staff in matching activities to individual needs.
Financial aid is available for families who qualify.
All children entering Frontier Day Camp for the first time should submit a current IEP and a statement from their teacher acknowledging that their primary problem is learning disability. As stated above, the philosophy of our program is to provide a wide variety of social and recreational activities within a structured day camp setting that will develop social, motor and verbal skills in children, provide them with a fun, recreational experience and help foster a strong sense of confidence and self-worth. The emphasis will be on having a good time and will not attempt to integrate a formal education program. In addition, speech therapy tutoring by a speech therapist is also available at the same cost. The Staff consists of paid professionals and trained volunteers working under an experienced director.
