My Summer Journey (MSJ) is a summer program for teens with autism, ages 13-19. Our fun-filled days help keep the teens in a routine that can make the transition back to school much easier. The focus of the program is to make new friends along with working on life and social skills.
Week 1 - June 9th to 13th session; Theme: Build It, Create It, Design It (building forts, pottery making, build race cars)
Week 2 - June 16th to 20th session; Theme: Travel The USA (hula dancing, ways to travel, desert activities)
Week 3 - June 23rd to 27th session; Theme: The Game Of Life (piggy bank, recipe box, community helpers)
My Summer Journey participants will meet and be picked up at Franklin Community High School in Franklin, Monday to Friday from 9:00am to 4:00pm. My Summer Journey will have a themed curriculum along with several community outings throughout each session. Each week will have goals and targeted skills like social skills, creativity, independence, community building, and self regulation. Participants will enjoy group activities, cooking, science experiments, and more.
