Summer Camp 2011 Ages 13-17
We are so excited for our second session of camp!
Just a few reminders:
We've changed where we do drop off and pick up - Drop off at 9 am and pick up at 4 pm is now on the grass by the patient and visitor parking lot (Lot C) located on the south east end of the building.
Peer mentors are required to come at 8:30 am on Mondays for training with our staff.
Calendars will be posted weekly here on our blog. Our calendar may be changed on occasion based on the needs of the group, weather, traffic and other unforseen circumstances. We will do our best to notify families of the changes.
If you need to contact your child during camp or you have a question, please call our camp cell phone (801) 793-3046. Upon request a child may be permitted to keep a cell phone that is turned off and remains in their back pack. If we see any cell phones in use, we will confiscate them and return them to a parent at the end of the day.
Don't forget a water bottle, sunscreen and lunch daily!
We'll see you Monday!

UNIF 2011
The Kidstar Summer Camp for Children with Autism, which we lovingly call UNIF, is based at the University Neuropsychiatric Institute (UNI). This camp is all about having fun so we changed the name to University Neuropsychiatric Institute of Fun. Our camp is designed to help children with high functioning Autism or Aspberger's Disorder learn and practice social skills in a safe and fun environment. Our camp follows a peer modeling structure which means that each child or adolescent is paired with a new typically developing "buddy" each week. We try to create activities in which the buddies work together in hopes that social knowledge and social skills are learned and practiced. These activities range from getting-to-know-you actvities, arts and crafts, sports and interactive games. We traditionally take multiple field trips including: Sweet's Candy Factory, Kennecott Copper Mine, Clark Planetarium, and Nickelmania nickel arcade.
Applications for camp this year are available online beginning March 15th at www.healthcare.utah.edu/uni.
Applications for camp this year are available online beginning March 15th at www.healthcare.utah.edu/uni.

Ages 8-12
