What Makes Our Camps Special?

  • Every child deserves a place where they feel accepted, valued, and safe to be themselves.
    Our camps are thoughtfully designed to:

    • Foster social connections through group games and activities

    • Build confidence in a non-judgmental, uplifting space

    • Encourage independence while supporting each child's unique needs

      No matter where your child is developmentally, they’ll be welcomed with open arms.

  • Learning happens best when it's fun! Each camp is:

    • Led by licensed therapists trained in child development

    • Centered around play-based activities like obstacle courses, art, and music

    • Designed to strengthen:

      • 🤸 Gross & fine motor skills

      • 💬 Communication & language

      • 🧠 Problem-solving & teamwork

        Campers practice real-life skills through engaging, age-appropriate games and challenges.

  • With a team of occupational, speech, and physical therapists, your child will benefit from:

    • Expert support tailored to their individual goals

    • A safe space to try new things, ask questions, and grow at their own pace

      Our staff knows how to support both skill development and emotional well-being in every activity.

  • Yes, our camps support developmental growth—but they also deliver pure summer fun!
    Campers enjoy:

    • Laugh-out-loud games and playful challenges

    • Bonding with new friends through shared experiences
