There is no single camp schedule that works perfectly for every child.
A child with autism may have different communication and sensory needs from a child with ADHD. A child with a learning disability may require different instructional strategies from a child who needs support with social communication or transitions.
That is why we provide an individualized program for each child.
Before the program begins, information provided by the family can help our team understand the child's strengths, interests, challenges, preferences, communication style, and support needs.
This information helps our staff plan an approach that allows the child to participate meaningfully in the program.
Our goal is to meet children where they are and help them have a successful winter break experience.

Our program welcomes children ages 4–9 who may benefit from additional individualized support.
This includes children with:
Autism
ADHD
Learning disabilities
Developmental differences
Communication differences
Sensory differences
Social-emotional challenges
Other different abilities
Children do not need to have the same diagnosis or the same level of support needs.
Our individualized model allows us to work with children based on their own strengths and needs rather than expecting every child to fit into one standard camp structure.
A Welcoming Environment for Different Abilities
We believe children should have opportunities to participate in recreational and educational experiences regardless of their abilities.
A child does not need to be able to sit still for long periods, communicate in a particular way, or participate in every activity exactly like their peers in order to belong at camp.
Our team works to create opportunities for participation while respecting individual differences.
Some children may want to participate in every activity. Others may need breaks, additional prompting, sensory accommodations, or a different way of participating.
Our staff can provide individualized guidance so children can experience the program in a way that is appropriate for them.

Winter break can be exciting, but it can also be difficult for children who rely heavily on predictable routines.
School is closed, regular schedules change, and families may have different holiday plans.
Our Winter Break Camp provides a structured daily environment during the December break.
Children can become familiar with the routine, know what to expect, and receive support when transitioning from one activity to another.
Predictability can be particularly helpful for children who experience difficulty with unexpected changes.
Our staff use consistent routines and individualized support to help children move through the day successfully.

The camp also provides opportunities for children to interact with peers.
Social participation can look different for every child.
For one child, it may mean joining a group activity. For another, it may mean playing alongside another child. For another, it may mean practicing communication, taking turns, sharing materials, or asking for help.
Our staff can support children during these interactions while respecting their individual communication and social styles.
The goal is to provide meaningful opportunities for social participation without forcing every child into the same social experience.

Winter Break Camp is not designed to feel like a traditional classroom.
Children learn through participation, movement, play, social experiences, creative activities, structured routines, and individualized guidance.
Our staff can use children's interests as opportunities to encourage communication, problem-solving, independence, cooperation, attention, and social engagement.
Activities can be adapted based on the child's abilities.
For example, if a child finds a particular activity difficult, staff can modify the instructions, provide additional prompting, break the activity into smaller steps, or find another way for the child to participate.

The central philosophy of our Winter Break Camp is simple:
The program should adapt to the child — not expect every child to adapt to the same program.
This means our team considers the child's individual needs when planning support.
A child who needs movement breaks should be able to receive appropriate movement opportunities.
A child who needs additional transition support should receive it.
A child who communicates differently should have their communication style respected.
A child who needs additional time to complete an activity should not automatically be considered unsuccessful.
Individualization allows us to focus on what each child can do and how we can help them participate.

The Winter Break Camp will have access to the program facility as permitted by the facility and applicable arrangements.
Access to the available spaces allows our team to organize activities and provide children with an environment appropriate for the program.
The specific areas and activities available may depend on facility access, scheduling, safety requirements, and program needs.

The cost of our two-week December Winter Break Camp is:
$4,500 for the full two-week program.
The program fee covers the two-week camp experience and individualized support provided through our 1:1 staffing model.
Because the program requires substantial staffing and preparation, families are asked to complete the registration process and provide a 25% deposit to secure the child's place.

A 25% deposit is required as part of registration.
Because our program operates with individualized staffing, registration places require significant advance planning.
Once a child is registered, we begin preparing staffing and individualized programming around the child's participation.
For this reason, families should review the cancellation policy carefully before registering.

Families may be able to use available funding or insurance benefits toward the cost of the program, depending on their individual eligibility, coverage, funding guidelines, and provider requirements.
The program may be eligible for coverage through OAP funding, private insurance, and special-needs funding, where applicable.
Families should confirm their individual coverage and eligibility before registering.
Funding programs and insurance companies may have their own rules regarding eligible services, documentation, reimbursement, and payment.
Our team can provide appropriate registration and program documentation to assist families with their funding or insurance process where applicable
