I received this today. These programs must be expensive, but I thought I'd share them.

** SOAR - Outdoor Adventure Programs for Children and Teens with ADHD **
SOAR is a private non-profit adventure program specifically designed to meet the needs of youth diagnosed with ADHD and Learning Disabilities. Emphasis is placed on developing self-confidence, social skills, problem-solving techniques, a willingness to attempt new challenges and the motivation that comes through successful goal orientation.
Adventures include: Rockclimbing, backpacking, whitewater rafting, horsepacking, llama trekking, mountaineering, caving, mountain biking, sea kayaking, snorkeling, SCUBA diving, and international travel. SOAR has been supporting children with ADHD and learning disabilities - and helping them to meet important life goals - for over 25 years. SOAR's low staff to student ratio is 1:3. Course sites include: North Carolina, Florida, Wyoming, Colorado, Costa Rica, and Belize.
To learn more about SOAR, and whether the SOAR program may be a good match for your child's interests and needs, please visit:
www.soarnc.org
I have heard very positive reports about SOAR from a number of newsletter subscribers whose child attended one of SOAR's programs.
** Landmark College - College Skills Program for College Students **
Landmark College - www.landmark.edu - is widely regarded as the nation's leading institution of higher learning for students with ADHD and/or learning disabilities.
This summer - from 6/12-7/8 - Landmark College is offering a program that is specially designed to build the academic skills of students who are currently enrolled in a college or university and have completed some college-level work.
Students in the program will be introduced to methods and strategies for managing time, materials and information, as well as writing, communication, and study skills. Elective choices include a math study skills course and an academic project workshop, in which students are guided through the process of developing a research project, including the practical use of information technology. The focus of the program is to provide students with new learning skills and strategies that will help them achieve greater success when they return to their school in the fall.
Interested students(or their parents) should contact Chris Gamm, Assistant Dean of Admissions, at 802 -387-6715.
