 ABOUT KALEIDSCOPE UNLIMITED
Created in 2002 by a group of professionals dedicated to increasing access to arts participation for children with special needs, this fun and challenging two-week camp offers an exciting integrated arts curriculum, developed by artists, teachers and therapists for children with Asperger Syndrome or similar behavioral challenges. Campers will work with a lead teaching artist and participate in daily arts specialist classes (including theater, dance, music and visual art) as we explore the arts in a supportive and caring environment that encourages friendship-building, creative self-expression and imaginative play.
 WILL MY CHILD HAVE FUN?
Yes! Understanding that each AS child is unique, and each child deserves the space to find their own best form of self-expression, our Teaching Artists work closely with each camper to foster creative exploration and individual connection with and ownership of the arts. Daily practice in social skills as well as fun outdoor activities round out the day for this arts-rich program in which every child is given the opportunity to succeed at their own pace.
PLAY CREATION
Over the course of two weeks, we will work together to create a play from the Kaleidoscope Unlimited campers' original ideas. Using the creative tools we develop through arts specialist activities, our ensemble skills and our rich imaginations, campers build a "work-in-progress" that we share in a fun last day of camp celebration. This Kaleidoscope Unlimited "Windows on the Work" event will feature favorite camper games, songs, dances and our original play. Family, friends, teachers and anyone important to your child's life are welcome to attend and celebrate their success.
