Our Place Art: Job & Life Skills Summer Camp has been designed for youth ages 13 and older with Autism and other intellectual/developmental disabilities opportunities to develop the following skills: employability skills, self-advocacy skills, independent living skills and social/community awareness skills. Campers will receive weekly materials.
Each week is structured around a different theme to keep campers engaged and excited all summer long. Some examples include: “Exploring Occupations,” “Money Math/Budgeting,” “Virtual Cooking Classes,” “Knowing my Community and Community Resources” etc. There will be opportunities for campers to participate in-person work-based learning opportunities throughout the week including: the Muse Knoxville, Knoxville Zoo, UT Gardens, Davis Art Studio and Misty’s Pet Depot etc. All in-person work-based learning opportunities will follow social distance guidelines(both small groups and individual work-based learning activities offered).
