Learning Disability Summer Camps

For many children with learning disabilities, camp can be a stressful, high anxiety environment. Choosing the right camp for your child is a decision that can make or break your child’s summer experience. Camp should be the nurturing place where children enjoy the outdoors, form new friendships, take risks, and experience new activities and adventures. Matching your child’s needs and interests will go a long way to ensuring that the camp experience is an enjoyable one for your child.

It is important that the camp understands your child and his/her needs and things to consider when choosing a camp is critical.

Assess your child’s learning disability needs to see what kind of support he/she requires.

  • requires additional guidance and direction
  • needs on-going social skills support
  • requires literacy or mathematical classes
  • is artistic, athletic, musical, tech-savvy
  • enjoys a competitive environment
  • responds well to animals and nature
