Take 2: Teaching Children w/ Autism Washington, DC

Dear Take2 Supporter,

Even though we're technically in the "off season," there's a lot happening behind the scenes that goes into making Take2 great.  Here's what we've been up to since camp ended:

We're accepting applications! Enrollment for Take2 started on January 1st. We have been reviewing applications from wonderful families who have heard about our camp from friends, related service providers, and researchers. In March, we will get a chance to meet these families in person at our meet and greet. Here, we run some of the Take2 favorites to give applicants a glimpse into what camp is like.

We attended GlobalGiving's Fourth Annual Town Hall meeting. This year, we were able to participate in person (instead of via web) at GlobalGiving's DC office. The panel discussed a range of topics, from new technologies for 2018 to in-kind resources from their network of volunteers. This experience reminds us of how fortunate we are to be partnered with such an innovative network of people dedicated to service. 

We're updating our curriculum. We're making updates and adding exciting new activities to the elementary and middle school curricula. This includes the addition of an outdoor elementary activity curriculum that incorporates team sports and LOTS of water. Think: "water balloon toss", "drip drip drop" (water duck duck goose), and "drench the counselor," which we're confident will become a camp favorite. 

It may be February, but we're thinking about July all year long. Thank you for supporting the work we do in all seasons!

With gratitude,

Callie Stezar
