Hello! We're glad you are registering your student for one of our TNC Empower Summer Camps.
TNC Empower Camp is our traditional life skills camp for high school students who are working toward greater independence with support. Campers participate in structured classroom lessons, hands-on activities, and community-based learning designed to build confidence and essential life and pre-employment skills.
Students enrolled in Empower Camp should be able to:
Independently use the restroom
Participate in classroom-style lessons and group activities throughout the day
Communicate basic needs to staff
Function safely in a small group setting without requiring intensive 1:1 support
Follow directions and participate in structured camp routines
All campers must be independent with restroom use, able to participate in structured group activities, communicate basic needs, and function successfully without intensive one-to-one support.
Empower Camp is ideal for students who benefit from continued support while developing independence.
Please take a moment to read the information below! We look forward to connecting with you and your student in the future.
