Are you interested in
working a summer camp for students with mild disabilities?
The High Riding Art,
Science, and Equestrian Day Camp projects offers authentic experiences for
students seeking to design and implement a day camp program. The students in
this project will study psychological, environmental, and cultural factors that
affect children with mild and moderate disabilities.
Then, working
collaboratively with several community agencies and nonprofit organizations,
the students will plan and implement a two-week program for campers with
disabilities. The camp will include horseback riding and associated equestrian
experiences, arts and crafts, physical exercises, science, music, cooking, and
other enrichment activities. The camp will run for two weeks in the summer.
This project may be of
special interest to elementary education majors as it satisfies the requirement
for SPCE 302, working with children with mild disabilities in the general
education classroom. However, students from many different majors have
participated and found the experiences to be very meaningful. All majors are
encouraged to apply!
