Alex Palace Summer Camp is a six to eight-week program launching July 2021. The program is designed to provide further education and lifestyle training for young adults with special needs and intellectual disabilities. We combine training on functional academic and life skills with recreation and creative arts. Most of all, it’s a space where young adults with special needs can be themselves, feel safe, be comfortable, and explore their interests in ways many other spaces do not permit.
AP summer camp programming focuses on four key developmental areas, with each week of camp being devoted to one functional academic category and one functional life skills category. Daily activities and holistic living are everyday offerings, while recreational trips take place on designated days throughout the summer. A full list and schedule of recreational trips and pricing will be made available no later than March 15.

Math; Banking, Finance and Budgeting; Literacy (2 weeks); STEM (2 weeks)
