Dragonfly Forest: Engaging the Necessities of Children with Autism and Medical Needs
Start Date: 6/1/2012Start Time: 4:00 PM
End Date: 6/1/2012End Time: 5:30 PM

Event Description
Fred Weiner, president of Dragonfly Forest in Conshohocken, PA, will discuss how he and his fellow employees are motivated by a desire to better understand and mold the experiences of children with autism and other medical needs at Dragonfly Forest. They do this because, while Dragon Forest provides what looks like a traditional camp experience to its participants, they actually are employing an Intentional Programming Model. This model is based on the assumption that all camp activities can lead to learning and growth. Experiences at camp are as diverse as the children who attend. The result is a unique educational institution that provides a positive force in youth development. For more info, please visit: www.biomed.drexel.edu.
