Summer High School Challenge Camp
In 2008, the first Summer High School Challenge launched which was a collaborative effort by Mott Community College Livingston Center, Michigan Rehabilitation Services (MRS), Work Skills Corporation (WSC), Livingston Es- sential Transportation Services (LETS), and Livingston Education Service Agency (LESA). The program provides an opportunity for upper level high school students with Asperger’s Syndrome that would prepare them to transition into their next venture after high school. Today, this camp consists of a sequence of training and job experiences de- signed to enhance the cognitive strengths of the participants and give them tools to compensate for some of their differences. The students will participate in basic computer instruction, computer animation and life skills class-
es, and will work in job situations throughout Livingston County. The camp produces remarkable results, and was recognized by the Livingston County Workforce Development council and awarded the “Outstanding Workforce Development Program”. The program will begin in June and end with a graduation celebration in August.
