Recreation & Socialization
Camp Shamrock is a summer day camp for children ages 5 to 21 years with intellectual disabilities, autism or multiple handicaps held at the main campus of Barbe National Institute. Connections Camp is another summer day camp offered by Barber National Institute, designed to build social skills and connections for children ages 5 to 18 with high functioning autism, at the Penn State Behrend Campus. During the school year, we also offer Time for Me, a recreational Saturday program for children with autism and intellectual disabilities, and SibSessions, a monthly Saturday program for siblings from ages 5 up to their 16th birthday who have a brother or sister with a developmental disability.
