About:

Our Multisport Program is thoughtfully crafted to support youth with ADHD and learning disabilities, offering an exciting lineup of sports and sport-related social skill development. With our low 3:1 camper-to-staff ratio, each camper benefits from individualized guidance, allowing them to build confidence, strengthen social skills, and fully engage in this fun and dynamic program.

Through the session, campers will explore a range of sports and group activities that keep them moving, learning, and connecting with others. Each week focuses on a different sport and related social skill, providing variety while ensuring skill-building remains both accessible and enjoyable. Our dedicated and mature staff incorporate social skill lessons into every session, helping campers develop crucial skills like teamwork, communication, and patience in real-life situations. In addition, our social skill curriculum focuses on specific and usable skills like what others are thinking, expected and unexpected behaviours, zones of regulation, determining the size of the problem, social problem solving and more. All Amicus staff receive specific training to support the needs of youth with ADHD and learning disabilities.

While there are many sport-based activities for kids this is a unique combination of active movement and social skills. Plus they are skilled at working with the LD behaviours - these kids are potentially seen as problematic to regular athletic activities with their attention spans and other executive functions. I like that they can actually talk about awkward situations with kids- like how to make friends. That discussion is likely missing from their day-to-day experiences. Thank you! — Amicus Parent
