Program Details
During the summer and winter times, parents must decide whether to leave their children at home or at a camp while they work during the day. Due to increasing prices and unique viral strands of COVID-19, more parents are opting to leave their children at home. Despite this safe measure, children are growing more restless and bored without having diverse stimulation to entertain them except for the screens of television and computers. Summer Stories Camp and Winter Stories Camp are novel solutions for the struggles that children and parents face alike during the summer and winter. This service allows for our trained mental health professionals to stay at a client’s house for a few hours to help the children of clients feel that vacation times can be fun again.
