Camp Jabber Jaw
This Year's Dates: June 4-8, 2007
Funded in part by the Mississippi Department of Rehabilitation Services Project START, Camp Jabber Jaw was established to provide a fun way for individuals to develop improved interactive communication skills. The campers are both individuals who utilize augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) and those who do not but are of similar ages. Parents attend the camp with their child and have the opportunity to interact with other parents giving each an opportunity to share triumphs as well as disappointments. The camp has provided a forum for the development of friendships, facilitation of interactive communication, and fun.
Camp Jabber Jaw ’06 was exciting as campers served as 'special agents' to the President of the United States of America. Campers were trained by Simone to be special agents and a mystery unfolded during the training. Each team created a Coat of Arms, team motto, and team saying. The teams then were sent on a scavenger hunt, toured the White House, created a team journal, and investigated the mystery. Each camper attended dinner at the White House, an Embassy Dinner, and retreated to Camp David for a night of dinner and dancing. The mystery was solved and ordered restored by the end of the week!”
