I CAN Camp (Young Adults): 13-15 March
This camp enabled young people on the Autism Spectrum to enable others to say ‘I Can’ to life’s opportunities, all from the horse’s mouth!
– Daniel Giles, I CAN Ambassador
Have fun whilst challenging yourself
Build your confidence
Connect with others
I CAN Network’s young adults camp, hosted by I CAN’s tertiary networks, will empower young adults (aged 18 – 30) on the Autism Spectrum to live the ‘I Can’ attitude. It will equip participants with the confidence to be leaders in our growing network. I CAN’s Camps are unique. They are run entirely by young people on the Spectrum for young people on the Spectrum. Here’s some of what you will get up to on camp:
- Games and random fun
- Team-building/ outdoor activities, including a bonfire
- Expressing I CAN’ – an exhibition of the ‘I Can’ attitude made by participants’ writing, drawing, music and construction
- Mentoring Master Class (an optional workshop for those young people ready and willing to take their mentoring or uni network to the next step)
- TEDxICAN – a showcase of ideas supporting the #AWEtismRethink
- AWE Ball (Theme: ‘Dress to Obsess’) – don your favourite obsession on the Saturday evening!
- ‘I CAN’ Talks – talks delivered by participants on what they’re going to say ‘I Can’ to
