Happy Fun Friday! 🫧

It was a fun-filled day at Camp Acorn, kicking off with our friend Monty the Magician captivating the crowd with a few tricks up his sleeve. Campers also had a blast making and popping huge bubbles and running through sprinklers. They ended the day with a refreshing popsicle treat - the perfect way to close the first week of camp!

Counting down to Camp Acorn! 🌰

With Camp Acorn opening tomorrow, our campers got a preview of what’s in store for them this summer at today’s Meet the Teacher! There were smiles all around as campers connected with each other ahead of an exciting camp experience filled with learning, growth and fun. We can’t wait to see you tomorrow for the first day of Camp Acorn!

Join us for Developing Social Competencies and Resilience! 📖

Camp Acorn will be hosting an Adult Education Series throughout June, kicking off this Thursday with Developing Social Competencies and Resilience, presented by Elementary Speech-Language Pathologist Audrey VonBorstel, MS, CCC-SLP. Resilience and social competence have been identified as the two critical abilities a child needs to be successful as an adult. This talk will cover how you can help your student find better success in social situations and how to support them in becoming more resilient throughout their life.
