At Camp Kehilla, we prioritize the unique needs of each and every camper. Our camp is designed to make the traditional summer camp experience available to those with special needs, providing a customized experience for children ages 5-21 with developmental disabilities, Autism spectrum disorder, and/or other neurodevelopmental conditions. 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.
Lower Camp is broken up into Unit 1 (ages 5-8 years) and Unit 2 (ages 9-12 years). Each unit goes on 4 trips over the course of the summer (1 trip in every 2-week session). There is a smaller camper-to-staff ratio.
