Our specialized camp program helps children with ADHD, Aspergers Syndrome or high-functioning autism to develop physical and social competence in an atmosphere that encourages and supports self-regulation and self-direction.

About North Carolina Developmental Disability Camps and Programs
In camps for people with developmental disabilities, every child is encouraged and honored for who they are. These programs provide a loving, inclusive, and enriching atmosphere that is designed to accommodate each camper's particular needs and talents. And most importantly, these camps will be fun for your child.
Specialty camps for developmental disabilities are carefully planned with customized routines, activities, and staff training. Through games, music, art, and outdoor exploration, campers are encouraged to interact, discover, and express themselves in an environment that fosters happiness, security, and a sense of belonging. With these activities, campers have many opportunities to gain confidence and build independence.
Campers are encouraged to explore new things, make decisions, and practice everyday life skills in a setting designed to support their success. These minor but significant accomplishments, like joining in a group activity, making a friend, or finishing a chore by themselves, give kids self-worth and valuable social interaction. Developmental disabilities surround campers with sympathetic staff members and a friendly, inclusive environment.
Children gain important social skills, form relationships, and discover the delight of belonging to a group where they are accepted for who they are via shared activities and communal living. These programs give children a place to laugh, develop, and make friendships that frequently last well past the summer or winter months. Developmental disability camps provide a fun and meaningful experience for parents seeking a camp where their child can feel genuinely understood, encouraged, and motivated.
