✨ About the Event
A structured summer group program supporting neurodivergent children, pre-teens, and adolescents in a safe, non-judgmental environment. Sessions use expressive and body-based methods with minimal reliance on verbal participation, making the program accessible for individuals who find traditional talk-based settings challenging.

🌱 What to Expect
FOCUS AREAS

• Emotional regulation and nervous system awareness
• Positive neurodivergent identity and self-acceptance
• Social connection and peer confidence
• Executive functioning support (organization, transitions, daily structure)
• Confidence and self-esteem building

THERAPEUTIC METHODS
Art Therapy (all groups)
Adapted by developmental stage — sensory and play-based for younger children; identity-focused and expressive (mask-making, collage, self-portraits) for adolescents.
Sand Tray Therapy (all groups)
Participants use miniature figures in sand to create symbolic scenes. A powerful non-verbal tool for emotional processing and self-expression — no verbal communication required.
Archery Therapy (ages 15–22)
A structured, body-based clinical intervention that builds impulse control, present-moment focus, frustration tolerance, and self-confidence through a mindful draw-pause-release ritual. Healing occurs through the body — no verbal communication required.
Mindfulness & Somatic Grounding (all groups)
Simple breathing and body-awareness exercises woven throughout each session to support regulation before, during, and after activities.
