Lights, camera… action! At the Movies is a high-energy summer camp where campers get to sing, dance and perform songs from today’s most popular kids’ movies. Each day, campers will learn fun choreography, practice group singing and create themed crafts. We will build confidence, teamwork and performance skills in a supportive and upbeat environment. Whether your camper loves belting out movie soundtracks or dancing to catchy tunes, this inclusive camp brings the magic of the movies to life.

Come make new friends and explore popular children’s literature through the arts! Campers will shake, rattle and roll with Pete the Cat, explore colors with Brown Bear and pretend to be a dog who loves donuts.

Camp will include a rotation of art, music, dance and drama, all facilitated by a team of Art and Music Therapists. Assessment prior to camp is required for any new FAA families. There will be a maximum of 5 participants per group.

Our Nature-Based Art Camp is the perfect place for campers to explore their artistic talents while connecting with the beauty of the world around us! Each day, we’ll dive into creative projects using a variety of natural materials like leaves, stones, twigs, and flowers to create unique masterpieces. Not only will your camper develop their artistic skills, but they’ll also gain a deeper appreciation for the environment and everything nature has to offer. Let’s get outside, get creative, and make some nature-inspired magic!

Painting Camp offers a unique opportunity to express themselves, explore their emotions and build self-awareness all through the power of painting! Our camp creates a safe, nurturing environment where artists of all skill levels can discover their creativity and feel empowered. Campers will explore emotions through vibrant colors and brushstrokes, build self-expression while learning new art techniques and gain confidence and develop a deeper sense of self-awareness.

Our Sensory Art Play Camp is all about unleashing creativity through fun, hands-on experiences that tap into all five senses! In this camp, your camper will dive into exciting, sometimes messy, art projects that engage their senses in new and playful ways. Each day we’ll focus on a different sense, encouraging imaginative exploration, expression and connection through art. Whether it’s feeling textures, smelling new scents, or creating vibrant masterpieces, this camp is the perfect space for neurodiverse and disabled campers (and their siblings) to embrace creativity in a safe, supportive environment.
