CAMP

Thanks to Grant support, This camp is only $270 for DSU members!

Registration links below will take you to Downside Up website. Please see their site for membership information.

Growing big and strong with extra support from Downside Up! This camp is geared to 14-18 year olds whose curiosity and charm surpass cognitive limitations.

  • We are able to help with toileting/diaper changes.

  • We do require independent mobility, as our terrain is not well-suited for wheelchair users.

  • We anticipate moments of dysregulation, but for group safety please consider whether or not your teen is able and willing to play with peers in an outdoor environment.

  • If your teen is easily overwhelmed, fearful or routinely aggressive with others, individual therapy is available to gear up for more social experiences.

Please reach out with questions or concerns to ensure everyone is a happy camper!

Big adventures

Sometimes this group is left out from appropriate “risky play” but research shows teens need this to develop independence and confidence. Let them amaze you with their growing skills!

Sensory Rich

Our outdoor environment supports exploring a vast array of sensory experiences. Sensory seekers will thrive and sensory avoiders will be supported to increase tolerance.

Group Play

Sometimes finding friends is hard! We will have folks from different schools and backgrounds to support growing community. Of course, old friends will also have a chance to catch up!
