  Camp Pegasus

  Jun 2013 - now

  Camp Pegasus is the Main Line's premier therapeutic social skills camp for well-regulated children with social challenges and anxiety. Camp Pegasus is a place where children who struggle with social skills CAN interact successfully. It's a place where children who feel like they don't fit in CAN belong. It's a place where children who have trouble controlling themselves CAN handle frustration. But mostly, Camp Pegasus is a place where children who grapple with friendships CAN find acceptance and great friends! Camp Pegasus is a source of inspiration, joy, and growth for children with ADHD, autism spectrum disorders, and other learning differences. Embedded in fun camp activities like sports, art, music, and computers are social skills lessons that bring the answers to questions your child seeks. At Camp Pegasus, Mike Fogel's original Art of Friendship Social-Coping Curriculum is infused into social practice opportunities in competitive, cooperative, creative, conversation, and semi-unstructured activities. Under the guidance of highly trained counselors, children who struggle with social interactions experience success. Additionally, Art Therapy, Music Therapy, and Dance-Movement Therapy social skills groups and traditional camp activities reinforce learned social skills in the most fun ways possible!Each camper is as unique and gifted as the flying horse that inspired our camp’s name. The Camp Pegasus difference is this:Every child has the opportunity to soar! Show less
