The Center for Children and Families is now accepting applications for the 2009 Summer Treatment Program.
Who is Eligible: The program is open to children and adolescents entering 1st through the 11th grade with academic or behavioral problems. All families currently in a study at the CCF are encouraged to attend.
When: The program will run from June 29th, 2009 – August 21st, 2009. The camp day is from 8:00 AM to 5:15 PM.This is a unique opportunity for your child or adolescent. Children entering grades 1-6 will spend the day playing sports and engaging in recreational activities with other children their age. They will also participate in swimming, social skills training, and spend 2 hours per day in a classroom setting working on academics and behaviors conducive to academic success. Each group will consist of up to 15 children and 4 staff members. Adolescents entering grades 7-11 will spend their mornings in a secondary school setting, building academic and organization/time management skills. In the afternoon, they will participate in recreational and problem-solving activities designed to build social and leadership skills. Adolescents also serve as paid junior counselors in our program. All groups participate in special activities on Fridays.
Where: All activities will take place on UB's Main Street Campus.
Cost: $2,500. Once your child’s application is reviewed and your child is accepted to the program, a $500.00 nonrefundable deposit is required to reserve your child's space. The remainder of the tuition, $2,000, is due on or before June 19th, 2009.
