Spark Summer
Bring the joy of summer fun in an inclusive, small-group setting! Every year, we host summer social skills programs that are packed with fun, excitement, and adventure. We seamlessly integrate ABA techniques into a wide variety of activities, play, and field trips, providing our learners with meaningful opportunities to learn and build relationships.
Our groups are carefully matched based on age, language development, play style, social skills, and behavioral needs to ensure that each learner gets the personalized attention they deserve. Throughout the program, we work on key developmental targets in a safe, supportive, and welcoming environment, promoting growth and confidence.Through this unique blend of structured learning and fun, learners not only make progress but also create lasting memories with new friends.

Welcoming campers, ages 5-14 with autism, Asperger’s, PDD, ADHD, language delays, other related challenges, and their typically developing siblings and friends. At Spark, we use the principles of ABA to create structured, goal-oriented activities tailored to each group. From traditional camp crafts to team-building games, each activity is carefully designed to reinforce social skills, communication, and friendship in a natural and engaging way. The addition of field trips and hands-on experiences allows our learners to practice their skills in real-world settings. These activities are specifically designed to target social, language, behavioral, and developmental skills in a way that is systematic, natural, and, most importantly, fun!
Led by trained ABA professionals, each camper receives individualized attention in a low-ratio, inclusive environment where their needs are met through engaging and therapeutic play. Whether it’s group games, team-building exercises, or structured social play, every moment is designed to help campers build essential skills while creating lasting memories.
Pathways is a specialized program for teens ages 15 and older, that fosters language, leisure, social, and vocational skills through teamwork and creativity. Teens will collaborate to create and manage their own creative initiative—whether through baking, art, a small business, volunteering at a jobsite, or other hands-on projects—building communication, problem-solving, and leadership skills in a supportive and inclusive environment.
ABA therapists will provide guidance in a low-ratio setting, supporting social, language, behavioral, and developmental growth while empowering teens to work together and bring their ideas to life. There are also opportunities for community involvement, where teens can gain hands-on experience in real-world settings by visiting local restaurants, stores, and other community outings!
