Our approach combines the fun of typical camp activities such as swimming, arts & crafts, and sports with evidence-based social facilitation techniques to create a comfortable and supportive environment. With a flexible structure that allows each camper’s individual strengths to shine, our campers have the opportunity to make lasting friendships and develop social skills.
