Welcome to “Camp Schurig”!
Our Therapeutic Program participants recently enjoyed a day of traditional, FUN summer camp activities at “Camp Schurig!”
Participants started the day by following the trail of “bear paw prints” leading them to our “Base Camp” where the magic began!
Everyone (including staff) had to choose a unique “camp name” for the day. Campers enjoyed lunch on the patio followed by an action-packed day filled with awesome back-country games and activities, such as making tie-dye t-shirts, “fishing for prizes,” a wet and wild water balloon toss, and a “campfire” sing-a-long and stories by flashlight! And, of course, campers feasted on everyone’s favorite campsite treat…s’mores!
Planned at the suggestion of our Therapeutic Program participants, our Summer Camp Day was a wonderful way for us to socialize as a group and enjoy the fresh air and great outdoors here in beautiful Larkspur!
Through the experience of “Camp Schurig,” participants were able to reap the benefits of camping by refreshing and renewing their bodies, minds and spirits outdoors. The day also provided the opportunity for participants to practice interpersonal communication, active listening and social skills while promoting creativity and self-expression.
A great day was had by all!
Big, big thanks to all of our awesome volunteers
who helped made this special day happen!
