Girl Time is a transformative weekly after-school enrichment program tailored to the unique needs of teenage and young adult females with developmental disabilities. Created to foster a supportive and inclusive environment, Girl Time welcomes campers who are enthusiastic about engaging with peers, exploring new experiences, and forming meaningful connections. The program offers a diverse range of activities carefully crafted to enhance life skills, social skills, communication, relationship building, and overall independence. From practical life skills to the art of effective communication and fostering healthy relationships, Girl Time empowers our campers with invaluable tools for personal growth and independence. Additionally, the program integrates activities like yoga and dance to promote physical wellness, self-expression, and emotional well-being. Through Girl Time, young women with developmental disabilities discover a nurturing community where they can thrive, learn, and build lasting friendships while embracing their unique identities during activities tailored to them!
