Top 3 Benefits of RISE Utah’s Summer Program for Youth
If you have a child, teen, or young adult living with a developmental disability, RISE Services, Inc. Utah has a summer program designed specifically for them. This summer experience allows participants to build on the skills they’ve learned throughout the school year while accessing the support they may need in a safe and nurturing environment. With group activities, fun games, and engaging conversations, your child can meet new friends, enjoy outdoor activities, and exercise their creativity. We invite you to learn three ways our summer program can positively impact your child, teen, or young adult.
1. Learn About Teamwork
Because our summer program includes group activities, our leaders demonstrate teamwork through every interaction. As parents, we want our children to learn to work with others, but teamwork is more than that. It’s about achieving goals together, which involves listening to others, considering their opinions, and valuing each team member.
2. Participate in Physical Activity
Summer is the perfect time to get outside, soak up the sun, and stay active. Our program leaders promote physical activity by organizing fun and exciting outdoor activities tailored to each participant’s abilities. Some of our favorite adventures include hiking on nearby trails and playing at community parks. Throughout the summer, we encourage your children and teens to engage in daily physical activity as part of a healthy lifestyle.
3. Meet New Friends
Our summer programs are an effective way for youth to meet other people their age. Kids through young adults can make new friends and meet individuals who may have different cultural backgrounds or others who enjoy similar activities and hobbies. Our team leaders are there to support participants in social interactions, as this is an excellent tool for developing social skills.
