Summer Day Camps

The Arc Summer Day Camp addresses the need for stimulating summer activities for children ages 5 to 12 with intellectual and developmental disabilities or related conditions (i.e.-autism).  The Arc Summer Day Camp works to ensure participants receive continued education and support while not in school.  Participants will enjoy a week full of fun recreational and educational activities. Campers enjoy activities including, but not limited to, volleyball, bowling, swimming, basketball, soccer, baseball. Camp counselors are all experienced teachers and paraprofessionals who have worked with kids with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Visual supports will be provided to help with daily schedules, transitions, and basic routines and expectations.  We will provide sensory stimulation toys and activities to help enhance your child’s development.
