Our Neurodiverse Student Skills Camp is designed to give students hands-on experience in some of the skills needed in day-to-day life as an adult while providing a glimpse of life on a college campus through connecting with peers, current college students, and faculty.
During this three-day, two-night experience, students will learn about topics such as time management, organization, meal planning, joining social interest groups, self-advocacy skills, and more, all while staying on a college campus.
This year, our camp will be held from Friday May 16 through May 18, 2025.
These camps are being offered in collaboration with the Office of Vocational Rehabilitation (OVR) located in Washington, PA. Priority is given to high school juniors and seniors with open OVR cases in Fayette, Greene, and Washington counties.
For registration information, please contact your OVR office.
