Social skills are the foundation for successful interaction with others.  The ability to interact and develop relationships with those around us is contingent upon ones ability to listen and communicate effectively.  Poor social skills can lead to behavioral difficulties in school, academic failure, peer rejection, aggressiveness, emotional difficulties, inattentiveness, poor self-concept, depression and /or drug abuse.           

The Social Skills Programs offered through Blackwater Outdoor Experiences are designed to increase the ability of clients to engage in developmentally appropriate social activities.  Through play, exploration, and practice, these program are intended to teach both the hard and soft skills necessary to successively and actively participate in neighborhood and school social activities such as:  ball games, birthday parties, sleepovers, and other social engagements.
