Camp Durango is a grant funded research project at The University of Texas at San Antonio. Campers will enroll in one of the five research projects being lead by UTSA faculty and staff. These studies will be conducted in the context of fun, summer day camp activities while simultaneously targeting social communication, adaptive skills, leisure skills, and challenging behavior. In order to participate, campers are required to attend a 30-minute session at "Camp Drango Open House" the week of June 6, 2022 to get to know the counselors, and identify the research study they will be participating in.
