Our summer design includes a complementary format of camp sessions that flow as three weeks, two weeks, three weeks. In addition, the three travel programs seamlessly allow a camper to combine camp and travel for the whole summer. We believe this format allows our campers to match their needs and interests while also enabling their families to plan for special family times at home or on vacation. Our travel tours are designed to dovetail with our campus program and thereby allow for participation in both program areas.

Mainstream camps refer to the type of camp that mixes children with special needs with non-disabled kids. The advantages of this camp are that it is more common, usually inexpensive and easier to find. If your child has special needs, he will have the chance to go camping with regular kids in a low pressure setting to get him accustomed to his needs or disabilities. Typical camping activities are offered in mainstream camps. These would include hiking, singing around the campfire, wildlife viewing and more.
Supervision: All children should be properly supervised throughout the duration of the camp. Trained experts should supervise certain activities. For example, any activity involving getting into the water should be guided by a certified lifeguard.
What to Ask the Camp Director: Inquire about the specific lineup of activities for the camp. This way, you can check if these are appropriate or accessible to your child. Find out the ratio of the children with special needs to children without. There should be a good balance between the two so that your child won't feel awkward or outnumbered.
Special Counselor Considerations: Camp counselors of a mainstream camp should have experience in dealing with children with special needs.
