Here is a social story to prepare students for summer camp. Feel free to share and reuse.
Tip: Read the social story repeatedly to your child or student over the next few days and weeks, and when you see the green behaviors now or over the summer, praise the student for doing the greens.
How to get myself accepted into camp…
My name is Yanky. I just celebrated my 10th birthday. I love Camp Rayim. I like it because all my friends are there. They also have great trips and activities, especially night activity.
What do I need to work on so that I get myself accepted into camp? Also, what must I keep remembering so that I can stay there all summer?
Here are some reds and greens that can make the difference.
Quit a game because of the ref vs. Use my words to the ref
Being a sore loser vs. Being a sport
Getting stuck vs. Going with the flow
Fighting with kids vs. Getting along
Arguing with adults/staff vs. Accepting No for an answer
Screaming vs. Calm voice
Escalating a problem vs. Making the problem smaller
Breaking camp rules vs. Respecting camp rules
Yelling at kids vs. Gentle voice
Being in the wrong place at the wrong time vs. Being in the right place at the right time
Not following directions vs. Following directions
Touching people vs. Hands to myself
By following camp rules, it’ll be pleasant for me and pleasant for my bunkmates, counselors, and camp staff. I look forward to having an awesome summer!
Enjoy the last few days of the current school year!
Yours,
Dr. Devora
