Camps for kids with special needs

There are two kinds of camps for kids with special needs…inclusion camps that are willing to accommodate special needs and camps specifically for children who face challenges. From asking camp directors around town, I’ve discovered that many are willing to have special needs children included as a part of their camps. They may not advertise it, but they will often consider it (1) if you ask, (2) if your child is not medically fragile and (3) your child is fairly high functioning with a need for some extra support.

Here are some camps that are specifically set up to handle special needs children.
