As a child attends our program, parents collaborate with staff to identify two targeted goals for the child to progress towards while at camp. By focusing on each child’s strengths and abilities, staff members help facilitate a child’s development by integrating their individualized goals into our daily schedule of unique camp activities. Because of our high caliber staff training and low camper to staff ratios of 3:1 or better, each child is able to receive a high level of individualized care and support, so that they are able to engage in adaptive camp activities, learn new skills and develop productive behaviors while having a blast.
Our program was developed for children with special needs including but not limited to:
• Autism Spectrum Disorders (including Asperger's Syndrome)
• Sensory Processing Disorders
• Down syndrome
• Developmental Delays
• Cerebral Palsy
• ADHD/ADD
