Two-week Therapy Camp

This camp is held for children between the ages of 7 and 17 who do not need as much individual attention in the different areas as those children attending the three-week camp. The two-week session is for children who could benefit from two weeks of social interaction with their peers in a positive environment. The children attending this session receive all of the services offered by the camp during the three-week session but attend the classes in small groups rather than on an individual basis. Around 40-45 campers are accepted to attend this session. 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.
