A six-day Creative Arts Day Camp designed for children with special needs such as learning challenges and autistic spectrum will be held at Marylhurst University from July 14 to July 19. The camp is open to children of all abilities, ages 6 to 12.

Children will participate in art, music, movement and drama experiences that reinforce the ideal of achieving one's maximum potential. An interdisciplinary team from Marylhurst's music therapy and art therapy counseling programs will provide a range of learning opportunities that foster growth in essential areas. This integrated program promotes communicative, behavioral, academic, motor, social and emotional development.

Therapeutic recreation activities facilitated by a recreational therapist have been added to this year's camp.

Family members are invited to join the campers on July 19 at a recognition and awards picnic.
