If your child has a favorite interest, there likely is a camp that specializes in it. Camps that cater to special needs: A physical, medical, or mental disability is not a roadblock to a camp experience. Each year more than a million children with special needs benefit from summer camp.

Many camps and other organizations offer financial assistance based on need. How to Choose the Right Camp When beginning the camp selection process, consider your child’s interests and personality. With a variety of programs and activities available, there’s a camp to match your child’s passions and maturity level. Together with your child, explore camp options and examine the materials the camp provides.
