Summer Camps for Special Needs

School days dwindling to a year's end bring the thrill of freedom and days of playing in the sun for children but can bring a sense of dread to parents. How can you keep your children entertained and happy during the months before school starts back up? Families who have children with special healthcare needs have the added worry of finding a camp that will support their child's specific condition.
