For over 20 years, the Summer Enrichment Program at Bittersweet Farms has been serving adolescents with autism (ages 13-21). After a successful Virtual Summer Camp in 2020, Bittersweet is bringing back in-person Summer Enrichment for 2021.
In order to provide a safe and meaningful experience for participants, this year the Summer Enrichment Program will combine outdoor activities at Bittersweet’s Whitehouse location (12660 Archbold-Whitehouse Road, Whitehouse) and limited community outings to local parks. Activities will include swimming, sports, arts and crafts, and more. The program will take place from June 14 until July 30, with a break the week of July 5.
Day Program Director Steve Mentrek, who oversees the Summer Enrichment Program, said, “We are so excited to be able to provide the Summer Enrichment Program in person this year. Although things will run a little differently due to COVID-19, we can’t wait to see all the fun that will be had this summer. Spaces are limited so please register early.”
If you or someone you know is interested in registering, contact Mentrek at smentrek@bittersweetfarms.org to receive an application. The Summer Enrichment Program is supported by the Lucas County Board of Developmental Disabilities.
Since 1983, Bittersweet Inc. has been serving adults and adolescents with Autism Spectrum Disorders across three locations in Ohio. The mission of Bittersweet, Inc. is to positively impact the lives of individuals with autism and those whose lives they touch.
