Camp Sessions

3 Week Therapy Camp

Which students would be the right fit for 3 Week Camp?
  • Students who have an intellectual or physical disability with a greater support need
  • Students who are able to take care of their own activities of daily living with some supervision and direction or minimal assistance
  • Students who would benefit from individual therapy in speech, reading and/or occupational therapy
  • In school, this child may need a one on one paraprofessional to assist with academics or behavior.  He or she may be on a behavior plan.  The child may need assistance and supervision in the bathroom or at lunch. He or she is below grade level in several areas.
General information about 3 Week Camp – The 3 Week session is slower paced.  Campers have the opportunity for one on one instruction in speech and language, reading intervention and occupational therapy.  Therapy sessions are individualized to work on each student’s IEP goals.  More focus is placed on independence in the areas of daily living, table manners and positive behaviors.  The campers during this session also participate in summer camp activities including crafts, recreation, waterfront, and a variety of evening activities such as hay rides, dances, talent shows, and campfires.

2 Week therapy Camp
Which students would be the right fit for 2 Week Camp?
  • Students who have an intellectual or physical disability with a lower support need
  • Students who are independent in their ADLs and require minimal supervision
  • Students who could benefit from extra practice in the areas of speech, reading and/or occupational therapy, but could do so in a group instead of individual therapies
  • In school, this child may spend most of his or her time in a regular classroom setting, but visit a resource room for academic help.  He or she may be below grade level in academics and may not always exhibit age appropriate behavior.  He or she is independent but may need cues in areas of social skill or behavior.
General information about 2 Week Camp – The two-week session is faster paced.  Campers attend speech, reading and occupational therapy in cabin groups and work on skills such as pragmatics, problem solving, reading fluency and comprehension, hygiene and social/emotional skills. More focus is placed on peer interaction and good social skills.

NOTE: Two-week Therapy Camp is NOT simply a shortened version of the three-week camp. Each session is designed for specific levels of special needs.

1 Week Companion Camp

This one-week session is specifically for students who need high levels of support.  These campers would require one on one support in their activities of daily living such as mobility, toileting, eating, etc.  This camp is modeled after our 3 and 2-week sessions, but will accommodate students who may not qualify for those sessions because of staffing limitations.  This camp will include campers age 7-high school (preference will be given to those who may not be old enough to attend Techno Camp).  Campers at this session attend modified group therapy for speech and language, and occupational therapy.  There will also be all the traditional camp activities such as recreation, crafts, and waterfront, adapted to the needs of our campers.

Additionally, this camp session is designated as a “Companion Camp.”  Campers are encouraged to bring a sibling, cousin or close friend of a similar age to enjoy a week of camp. This provides not only a support system for our campers, but also an opportunity for siblings to interact with other children who might have shared experiences that go along with having a sibling with a disability.  Campers and camper companions have the opportunity to enjoy camp in groups and individually. (Please note: This camp is designed for the companions to also be children who would enjoy summer camp.  It is not designed for parents, para educators, respite staff or other adults to attend with campers. Cares will be provided by camp staff.)

Camper applications will be screened by a committee and space is limited.
