Every day had both a volunteering opportunity and a social opportunity. He volunteered at nine different locations where he learned and used many skills. He did various activities from folding pizza boxes to making cards for sick children to doing light landscaping. They even made baked goods and sold them at a bake sale.
After they volunteered in the morning, they spent the afternoon having fun throughout St. Louis. They went to the zoo, rode Metrolink, jumped at Skyzone, and went swimming. By doing these fun activities Nate was able to increase his independence. He had to order his own food at restaurants and pay for all his recreation activities.
He had such a great summer! It was very easy to get him up in the mornings when I told him he was going to camp. He was always ready to leave on time and had his backpack, lunch, and wallet. He came home with his own résumé!
