Our goal is to provide as much support as we can during your intensive. This looks different for all families. We take into account the added costs for us to join in on a paid activity as well as what the family needs if we are participating. Our presence is opportunity to learn, observe, and provide coaching. We lead and facilitate activities within our programming that are not "added costs.” For example, we may have the family go on a hot air balloon ride, but we aren’t in attendance. Discussion on how this went for everyone happens afterwards. Customizing this is specific to family dynamics, goals, and budget.
