OUR LEARNING CENTER

Camp Auxilium Center seeks to serve the needs of the children of Sussex County and its surrounding areas and their families. In keeping with the philosophy of St. John Bosco, patron of educators and friend of youth, through environment and instruction, we strive for the complete human and Christian formation of the children, fostering in them the values and attitudes of the Gospel which will help them grow into the responsible adults that God would have them be.

A program of well-rounded educational possibliities is offered to develop the child's skills in all areas. Learning materials and experiences are devised to be developmentally appropriate, meaningful and concrete. Mathematical ability is advanced through use, discovery and problem solving. Science and Social Studies are based on the child's interest in the natural and social world around him/her. Physical Education and Health are part of the child's daily routine. The child's creative expression is cultivated through art, music and role-playing. The promotion of prosocial behavior, facilitation of social skills, encouragement of individual choices, development of the child's conscience and suitable religious experiences are continually incorporated into the curriculum through age-appropriate activities and experiences.

Every effort is directed toward cultivating the formation and growth of a child who knows that he or she is loved by God and others, builds a positive self-image, begins to understand the difference between acceptale and unacceptable behavior, and acquires sensitivity to the rights and dignity of others.
