SEC at Camp Kef
In the summer of 2022, the Social Enrichment Center and Camp Kef at the Kaiserman JCC partnered to create a inclusive summer camp program for neurodivergent children ages 4-11. The goal of this program is to help foster an inclusive environment where neurodiverse campers can enjoy the full benefits of everything Camp Kef has to offer. This program is tailored to support and facilitate social development, peer interaction, and independence through experiences. Through our partnership, there are two levels of inclusion available. Campers will go through an intake process with SEC to help determine which program is best suited to their needs. Programming is subject to our admission process. Prospective campers are required to complete an informal intake evaluation with the Social Enrichment Center. Intake evaluations are designed to assess your child’s strengths and areas of need to appropriately identify the level of support they will need this summer. Families may consider SEC at Camp Kef an option for Extended School Year (ESY). Qualification for ESY is determined by the child’s IEP team. If your child should qualify and has social development goals, our program may be a placement for ESY.
SEC Full Support Program:
Campers in this group are placed in a bunk led by a therapeutic facilitator from SEC providing full time social, emotional and regulation support. The campers are assigned a SEC-support staff member, trained by SEC mental health counselors. These SEC led bunks are paired and linked with other Camp Kef led bunks throughout the camp day for inclusion opportunities.
Campers in this group receive social skills, behavior management, and emotional regulation group therapy throughout their day. Campers have access to a fully equipped sensory room and receive occupational therapy support for any gross or fine motor or sensory regulation needs.
Camp Kef Itinerant Support:
Campers in this group are placed in an age-appropriate bunk at Camp Kef and are assigned a 1:1 or 2:1 camp counselor, supervised by the special needs coordinator of Camp Kef, who is available to assist the camper intermittently with social, emotional and behavioral challenges throughout their camp day. Campers will travel with the bunk and are encouraged to participate in all camp activities.
* Campers at the itinerant support level have the option of adding additional SEC service hours (i.e. therapeutic instruction, behavior management support, emotional and regulation support) into their schedule at an additional cost. *
Pricing varies between programs. Check with your insurance for possible reimbursement.
