		Our recreation program is specifically designed for children and teenagers with learning disabilities, ADD/ADHD and neurological impairments. Campers participate in a variety of daily activities which are much like those offered at a camp for the non-disabled. Counselors use the recreational activities as a means of remediation for attention, memory, and perceptual disabilities. The learning and organizational strategies being taught at home and in school are reinforced in a fun and relaxing environment.
	Our well-equipped activity centers provide a wide variety of fun-filled and challenging opportunities for campers. Therapeutic activities are adaptively designed to match the pace and ability of each camper. Positive development is nurtured in a non-competitive atmosphere. In addition to activities listed below, we also feature many special events at camp, such as, out-of-camp trips, birthday celebrations, plays, musical performances and much more. Activities include: • Ropes Course • Filmmaking • Academics • Art & Crafts • Computer/Media/Photo • Drama • Home Economics • Horseback Riding • Music • Sports • Swimming
