Youth Summer Services

Ages: 11 to 21 years old

Summer is the perfect time for youth with disabilities to dream, explore, and discover their interests in a fun and safe environment along with their peers. Youth Summer Services offer various fun filled and hands-on experiences focusing on helping the youth with disabilities to develop independent living skills and pre-employment skills.

Youth Summer Services are offered throughout the summer. The different activities can range from a one-day workshop to a month long, five day a week camp and the times will vary depending on the activities. The youth will have a blast while developing valuable skills.
