Transition Camp

Transition Camp is Change!

Transition Camp is a week-long academic learning experience for both students and educators which is focused on skills and techniques that assist students to transition from school to adulthood. Camp objectives and activities are aligned with Alaska Content Standards and the Alaska Transition Outcomes Project. For more information on the camp, contact Gail Greenhalgh, Transition Services.

Camp emphasis is on these primary career exploration and life skills areas:

• Identify career interests and plan for career options.
• Use employability skills to develop a work ethic necessary for success in the workplace.
• Acquire knowledge that contributes to well-being in the workplace and for independent living.
• Develop employability and job-seeking skills to effectively make the transition from school to work and life-long learning.

Camps are available to any district that chooses to attend. District teams consist of a special education teacher, a special education paraprofessional, three 10th – 12th grade special education students and one 10th – 12th grade typical student. Camp tuition, $3600/team pays for ground transportation, materials, instruction, meals, and housing during the camp, and one source of funding is Title VI-B money. To get started, fill out the intent form below.

Your district will begin the enrollment process with an intent form. Teachers who are attending should use the "Just for Teachers" link to prepare themselves and their students for the session. Make sure parents read the "Just for Parents" page.
