Specialty Camps
Specialty Sessions focus on a specific skill, theme, or outcome for the week. Those who attend these sessions will also have a chance to participate in some of the other activities offered at camp (challenge & waterfront), but it is not the focus of their week. Specialty Camps have different age ranges, ability levels, or diagnoses for camper eligibility due to the goals and nature of the program that week. Campers will attend our favored Banquet Diner & Dance with the rest of the camp on the last night.
