Our Camp Focus At Inside Out HQ, we believe children learn and grow best when they are having fun. Our programming is built around six core areas: **1. Adventure & Exploration** Encouraging curiosity and discovery through themed challenges, interactive activities, scavenger hunts, hands-on projects, and new experiences. **2. Creativity & Imagination** Giving campers opportunities to express themselves through arts and crafts, music, dance, storytelling, imaginative projects, and creative competitions. **3. Friendship & Teamwork** Creating opportunities to connect with peers, develop friendships, practice cooperation, and work together through group games, team challenges, and collaborative projects. **4. Emotional Awareness & Self-Expression** Drawing inspiration from *Inside Out*, campers will explore emotions such as Joy, Sadness, Anger, Fear, Disgust, Anxiety, and Embarrassment through fun, age-appropriate activities that encourage emotional awareness, confidence, and self-expression. **5.

We also recognize that some campers may benefit from additional support, smaller activity groups, modified activities, or more structured routines. For children with autism, intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD), sensory differences, or other individualized support needs, specialized activity groups and additional assistance are available based on each child's needs and program capacity. Our staff includes Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs) with experience supporting children with autism and other intellectual and developmental disabilities. Their background provides valuable experience in communication support, positive behavior strategies, sensory accommodations, and individualized engagement. Additional support options may include: - Smaller activity groups and increased staff assistance - Visual schedules and structured activity transitions - Sensory-friendly activities and designated quiet areas - Adapted games, crafts, and recreational activities - Communication and social interaction support - Positive behavior guidance and individualized strategies - Assistance with daily routines and personal care, when available - Flexible participation based on each camper's comfort and interests Our goal is to ensure that every camper has opportunities to participate, have fun, build friendships, and enjoy the camp experience. Specialized activity groups are optional and designed to provide additional support when needed. Inside Out HQ is an activity camp and childcare program, not an ABA therapy service. Our Mission At Inside Out HQ, every emotion tells a story, every adventure creates a memory, and every child brings something special to Headquarters. Our mission is to provide an exciting, welcoming, and activity-filled camp environment where children can explore their creativity, develop friendships, build confidence, and experience the joy of learning through play. Inspired by the imaginative world of *Inside Out*, we strive to make every camp day a new opportunity for discovery, connection, laughter, and unforgettable experiences.
