Roll With It!

(a D&D camp with a therapeutic twist)

What if social skills practice didn’t feel like practice?

This summer, we’re bringing together neurodivergent tweens and teens for a therapist-led Dungeons & Dragons camp designed to build confidence, connection, and emotional flexibility — all through collaborative storytelling and adventure.

In this small-group experience (just 6 players), participants join a party of heroes navigating quests that require teamwork, problem-solving, communication, and creative thinking. Along the way, they’ll practice real-world social and emotional skills in a setting that feels safe, engaging, and genuinely fun.

What Makes This Camp Different?

This is not a typical summer camp.
It’s a thoughtfully structured, clinician-led group designed with neurodivergent nervous systems in mind.

Each day balances:

• 🎲 Collaborative D&D gameplay

• 🧠 Executive functioning support

• 💬 Real-time social coaching

• 🌿 Movement and regulation breaks

• 🍎 Snack and lunch built into the rhythm

• 🤝 Gentle reflection and skill-building

The goal isn’t “perfect social behavior.”
The goal is growth — in confidence, flexibility, and connection.

Skills We’ll Build (Without It Feeling Like Therapy)

Through immersive storytelling and supported peer interaction, participants will practice:

Social Communication

• Turn-taking and active listening

• Expressing ideas clearly

• Perspective-taking

• Navigating disagreements

Emotional Regulation

• Managing frustration (even after a bad roll)

• Coping with unexpected outcomes

• Tolerating uncertainty

• Recovering from mistakes

Executive Functioning

• Planning and sequencing

• Flexible thinking

• Collaborative problem-solving

• Staying organized within a group activity

Confidence & Identity

• Safe role experimentation

• Discovering strengths

• Leadership opportunities

• Belonging in a community of shared interests

Why Dungeons & Dragons?

D&D naturally creates opportunities to:

• Work as a team

• Negotiate plans

• Handle setbacks

• Think creatively

• Practice self-advocacy

• Build resilience

For many neurodivergent teens, traditional social environments can feel overwhelming or unclear. D&D offers structure, predictability, and shared focus — which lowers anxiety and opens the door to authentic connection.

It’s social growth disguised as adventure.

Who This Camp Is For

This group is designed for:

• Neurodivergent tweens and teens (including ADHD, autism, anxiety, and related profiles)

• Kids who love fantasy, storytelling, or strategy

• Teens who struggle socially but thrive with shared interests

• Thoughtful, creative kids who need a supportive peer space

Group size is intentionally limited to 6 participants to ensure safety, coaching, and meaningful connection.

Led by a Licensed Clinician

This camp is facilitated by a licensed therapist with extensive experience supporting neurodivergent youth. Teen assistants provide additional support to ensure structure, regulation, and engagement throughout the day.

This is a therapeutic enrichment experience — blending fun, growth, and emotional safety.

Because Every Hero Needs a Party

If your child has struggled to “find their people,”
if social groups have felt forced or uncomfortable,
if you’re looking for something that builds real skills without shame —

This might be their quest.
