Friendship Island Social Skills Camp
A social skills camp for children focusing on friendship, communication, and emotional regulation.
▌ Editor's read The Friendship Island - Kids Program is a day camp offered by Compass Clinic LA, a mental health clinic specializing in child and adolescent psychology. The camp focuses on social skills development for children aged 5-11, with a curriculum designed and supervised by licensed psychologists and therapists, including Dr. Jennifer Louie. The program aims to improve communication, emotional regulation, and friendship skills through structured activities. The website does not provide information on ACA accreditation or specific state licensing for the camp program. While the clinic itself has a 5.0-star rating on Google based on 10 reviews, these reviews are for the clinic's overall services and not specifically for the summer camp. The camp's Instagram handle is @compassclinicla and Facebook handle is CompassClinicLA. The program is clearly a day camp, running from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM, and is offered by a for-profit clinic.
Who thrives here Ages 5–11
Friendship Island Social Skills Camp fits middle-elementary campers — old enough for skill-building to land, young enough that friend-group dynamics and counselor warmth still matter more than program rigor. Parents at this age band tend to prioritize a balanced rhythm of structured activity and unstructured play, which is the actual differentiator inside any given sports program.
