Social Skills Training - Ontario Summer Camps

Main Street Community Services:
Main Street Community Services is a not for profit community agency working in partnership with other community organizations to provide comprehensive social and health services. Using a pro-active and cognitive-behavioural approach to learning, our Social Skills Day Camp in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada enables children, ages 5-14, to develop satisfying interpersonal relationships by enhancing skill proficiency in a variety of areas that foster social competency.

Counselling is provided to individuals and families experiencing personal, social or familial difficulties. Through a research-based approach, the primary focus is on improving the quality of an individual's or family's functioning and life satisfaction. This service may involve enhancing established coping skills, learning new ones, or even coaching an individual through difficult times.

Mentoring For Children & Youth:
Research has proven that mentoring can improve the quality of a child's life through building self-confidence and positive self-esteem. Our innovative mentoring program provides opportunities for skill development and healthy relationship building with a highly qualified, trained and experienced mentor. Mentors are specifically chosen to meet their unique needs. They act as role models, advocates, friends or someone simply to talk to, either one-to-one or in a group setting. The mentoring program also allows parents and care givers a chance to watch their children and youth build and learn skills geared towards healthy relationship building, personal development, school-based skills and other essential skills needed throughout life.

Our Staff:
All staff are university/college educated and trained (including dedicated Developmental Service workers, Social workers and Teachers) with several years of direct experience in this field. The Director, a clinical counsellor and a behavioural specialist are on hand always and have a Master’s level of education.

Through out each camp session children will be provided a fun, safe and therapeutic environment where their individuality and uniqueness is respected and nurtured. Each child will be provided opportunities for: Sports, Martial Arts, Arts and Crafts, Cooperative Activities, Swimming, Relaxation, and much more.
