    3. Thank you for participating in this year’s Camp Soaring Eagle. Please note that students who have participated in camp in past semesters have had an overwhelmingly positive response to the camp experience and campers and their families have truly benefitted from UMW’s involvement. THANK YOU!!!!

    4. Think you don’t need to experience this type of training? We bet you’ll reconsider this idea at the end of camp. It is a wonderful way for teachers to experience kids with disabilities without the pressures of SOLs or large classrooms and to see them working on different skills such as social skills. Everyone, whether you already have a degree in Special Ed (or a Ph.D. even), learns more from working with the children at camp! THANK YOU!!!!

    5. Because children with disabilities are all different, the more exposure and opportunities you give yourself to work with these kids, the better teacher you will be for all students! We can all learn from each other throughout this experience. THANK YOU!!!!

    6. Camp Soaring Eagle Designed for kids with disabilities whose parents are enrolled in the Exceptional Family Member Program. UMW students design and run the camp using play-based approaches. A low counselor to camper ratio allows children (ages 4-13) to enjoy a positive camp experience that is developed with their individual special needs in mind.

    7. Camp is a great way to do a practical assignment over the summer! Why be stuck inside doing homework when you can have fun working with kids! EDSE 531 - students will be observing and working with children with a variety of disabilities as discussed in the course. Camp provides you with some training in working with children who have various needs and the opportunity to observe various accommodations/modifications. You will complete your assignment based on your volunteer hours at camp. EDSE 531 and INDT 531 Assignments
