Friends in the Forest Camp
Unique Outdoor Camp for Social Skill Development
This unique outdoor camp occurs for three weeks in June. Kids age 5-19 develop social skills in a nature-based setting in the Cleveland Metroparks beautiful North Chagrin Reservation. This camp offers children an opportunity to experience a restorative natural environment while engaging in intensive exploration, games and outdoor play with peers. Campers will participate in a daily social skills lesson, explore the metroparks, and learn about nature with our staff of speech-language pathologists, graduate students, and other talented and trained staff. Spaces are limited and campers must meet certain developmental milestones in order to be eligible for registration.
