About CampSummer Therapy Camp is an inclusive therapy camp for children aged 3-10 with special needs and their typically developing peers. We believe strongly in an inclusive model for learning, as children of all abilities benefit from learning together.
Summer Therapy Camp is literacy-based with themed units taught utilizing preschool-early elementary level books and paired with planned field trip experiences for hands-on learning. Each child will receive several books with corresponding manipulatives and activities that are theirs to keep at the end of the camp. |
|
Bridging the GapThe purpose of Summer Therapy Camp is to bridge the gap for children who may have limited access to therapy services over the summer, whether due to financial or geographic constraints, or due to the typical gap in school-based therapy services over the summer.
We strive to help children with special needs continue their developmental progress through participation in Summer Therapy Camp so that they will not lose skills over the summer. |

Camp StaffCamp staff include an early education professional, two occupational therapy professionals, a physical therapy professional, a music therapy professional, and a speech language pathology professional.

Camp VolunteersWe are currently accepting registrations for adult volunteers to provide 1:1 assistance to our campers. Volunteers can be rising 9th graders through adult age. Volunteers help a camper move through the 6 camp stations and help them complete the movement, music, motor, and arts/crafts activities in each station. Camp staff take care of any campers' hygiene/toileting needs.
Please call Ashley at 704-798-4879 for more information about becoming a volunteer. |
This camp is made possible by the generosity of our community and the receipt of grant funding.
