Step inside Headquarters, where every day brings a new adventure, emotions come to life, and imagination takes center stage! Inspired by Disney and Pixar's *Inside Out*, Inside Out HQ is an exciting, activity-based camp designed for children ages 6 through 12. Just like Riley's Headquarters in the movie, our camp celebrates the many emotions, personalities, interests, and experiences that make every child unique. From creative art projects and science experiments to team challenges, interactive games, music, movement, and themed adventures, Inside Out HQ offers an exciting variety of hands-on experiences that keep children active, engaged, and entertained. Our camp is designed to be more than a place for childcare. It is a destination where children can discover new interests, build friendships, express themselves, and create lasting memories. 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.

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.
