Group Program

The program is designed to help boys and girls ages 5-16 develop self-confidence, self-esteem, and improve social skills. Children enrolled in an activity group are placed in groups whose members are comparable in age, physical skill, developmental level, cognitive abilities, and social/emotional maturity. Each child's self-esteem and social skills may be enhanced because they are in a supportive, safe, encouraging environment in which rapport and trust are built up not only with the counselor but also with fellow group members. Self-confidence is also fostered by structuring the groups and activities so that each child can have fun while experiencing concrete success.
