•To give exceptional people an opportunity to be themselves. •To creat opportunities for them to grow socially, emotionally, and intellectually by encouraging them to make their own decisions as to activity and interest. •To give them an opportunity to make friends with persons outside their own immediate circles. •To allow them to get away from the deadlines of learning and working in programs of endless repetition which have chained their development to the limited confines of such programs. •To provide a warm, friendly atmosphere of planned permissiveness where time does not matter but where the growth of each individual involved is at his or her own rate and is of the most importance. •To offer the participants a meaningful change of pace, which will allow them to find the level at which they can function best. •To provide persons with disabilities, the opportunity to "unwind" and to have fun on their own, independent of confining pressures and arbitrarily-imposed standards. •To help participants develop a sense of self-esteem and of belonging to a group which they can truly call their own. •To open to exceptional people a totally new world of discoveries, adventures and learning which they never suspected existed, and never would know, were it not for our type of program.
