Does Your Child Have Special Needs? Send Them To Summer Camp!

Are you looking for a summer camp for your child with special needs? Depending on your particular circumstances and location, you have numerous options and opportunities available for your child to enjoy a safe, fun and rewarding camp experience this year.

Let’s say you live in southern California and your child has autism, ADD, ADHD or another learning disability. How about signing them up for a surf camp or beach camp? Learning to surf is so much fun and can build self-confidence, esteem and lifelong water safety skills.

If your child has cancer, there are camps available where your son or daughter can have a blast in a fun, safe environment designed just for them.

What if your child has special needs other than those discussed above? According to Theresa Torrone, a camp director in Los Angeles and a volunteer for the American Camp Association (ACA), “There is certainly a camp to serve them. Children with diabetes, cystic fibrosis, spina bifida, speech impairment, hearing impairments, blood disorders and almost any other special need can find a suitable summer camp where they’ll be safe, have fun, make new friends, have a rewarding summer experience and become the proverbial ‘happy camper.’”

Torrone emphasizes that the volunteers who work for the ACA are “caring, committed professionals who love sharing their knowledge and experience to help your child with special needs find the right camp for you.”

Finally, you might consider simply doing a Google search on"Special Needs Summer Camps." There are literally thousands of possibilities waiting for you.
