Poole Family YMCA
Camp G.R.A.C.E. is a day camp designed for children with Pervasive Developmental Disorders (PDD), Autism Spectrum Disorder, and other special needs. Each session of Camp G.R.A.C.E. operates for one week, with each session focusing on building specific skills incorporating therapeutic ideas from many disciplines. We offer two different sessions: Social Skills and Building Blocks. Social Skills Sessions are designed for children that do not require one-on-one assistance. The focus of these sessions will be on activity skill building, teamwork activities, and social situations. The Building Blocks sessions are designed with a smaller ratio to allow for more individual attention. You can learn more about Camp Grace on our website: ymcatriangle.org/programs/c../camp-grace Volunteers will provides supervision to a children in the seasonal day camp designed for children with these special needs. Volunteers will be responsible for implementing activities and maintaining a safe and engaging environment for campers. Experience working with the special needs population strongly encouraged.
Volunteers provide a quality experience to children and parents focused on YMCA core values: honesty, respect, responsibility, and caring.
