Each year, we respond to the needs for quality camps from our families who have children and adolescents with disabilities.
Each of our specialty camps has been designed to promote and maintain learning skills so that a child does not lose ability between school years.
Not sure if camp is a good fit for your child or adolescent? Contact us and we can help you decide.
