Aspire is a program of the Massachusetts General Hospital and Partners Healthcare Systems that serves more than 200 participants, teens, and young adults with social cognition challenges, including Asperger's Syndrome, High-Cognitive Autism, Nonverbal Learning Disorder, and autism spectrum disorders. Aspire Adventure Camp serves 100 participants aged 5-13 who have the cognitive capacity for solid peer connections but who lack the understanding and skill set to form those connections. The summer program is an immersive experience in which campers are placed into well-matched groups, with participant-to-staff ratios no greater than 3:1. Participants engage in outdoor education activities, such as hiking and fishing, theme-based curriculum, such as art or recreation, and skill building lessons to support in the development of social skills, stress management strategies, and self-awareness.
Group Leaders are responsible for supervising a group of 4-7 participants while at camp, and for leading them in a variety of outdoor and indoor age-appropriate activities. Group Leaders are responsible for applying social support and behavior management techniques to help campers achieve individual and group goals; guiding their campers to participate in groups led by other professionals (ex. music specialist, art specialist, etc.); and for supporting and mentoring the Assistant Group Leader assigned to work with them. Group Leaders must have a desire to help neurodivergent children develop their social skills, self-esteem, and self-worth while helping them succeed and have fun. Assistant Group Leaders (AGL) play an important role at Aspire AGLs work under the direction of more experienced Group Leaders and are responsible for supervising the 4-6 children in their group. AGLs are also responsible for learning social support and behavior management strategies. AGLs model expected behavior and social interactions for children both in their group and the whole camp. AGLs must have a desire to learn and to help children with neurological or developmental challenges develop their social skills, self-esteem and to help them succeed and have fun.
