About Camp

Summer 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 Gap

The 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 Staff

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