Folly Beach Beach Camp
At Abundance Therapies Foundation, We believe that every child deserves the opportunity to experience joy, confidence, and connection. We are proud to sponsor along with Kai Dilling of Sol Surfers a surf camp experience for children with special needs, creating unforgettable moments and empowering them to discover what is possible beyond the shoreline.
Abundance Therapies’ Beach Camp is designed to engage each child and individual on a multisensory level in the most natural environment. Throughout the course of each day, with exposure to a number of activities, all campers will gain increased self-awareness and learn how to move their bodies effectively to complete each task at hand. They will be practicing how to engage in “work” with their peers to accomplish tasks together. Through this process they will learn how to respect and help themselves and their peers through each aspect of a typical beach day, described in the itinerary below.
All camp activities will highlight:
Teamwork
Leadership
Acceptance
Respect
Tolerance
Fine and gross motor skill development and awareness
The camp is coordinated with a buddy system, which will be based on motor skills and cognitive abilities and then assisted as needed ranging from 1:1 to a maximum 3:1 ratio.
The camp integrates children and individuals of all ages and capabilities, including; Neuro-Typical Peers, teen and adult volunteers, highly skilled therapists, and musicians.
Each individual will be able to explore and enjoy their world at a pace that allows for their maximum enjoyment and personal development.
We thank you for your participation and look forward to an amazing summer with you and your family!
