CommuniCamp™ is 3+ Day program treating Selective Mutism, Social Anxiety, and extreme shyness by using Social Communication Anxiety Treatment® (S-CAT®), the evidence-based treatment approach created by world-renowned Selective Mutism expert, Dr. Elisa Shipon-Blum with over 30 years’ experience.

This is conducted through therapeutic activities, exercises, and strategies according to each camper’s age, individual needs and baseline stages on the Social Communication Bridge©. 15+ hours
2) All-day Parent Education, Training & Support
Our SM experts will closely explain S-CAT® tools and strategies for parent implementation, answer questions, offer guidance, educate on a variety of SM related topics, facilitate Q&A with former patients, and foster a sense of community. 15+ hours
