Summer Camp Directory

The summer camp list for 2010 has now been updated!

The Center compiles a list of summer camps for children with special needs in Washington State. The inclusion or exclusion of any camp in this directory does not imply endorsement or disapproval. The American Camp Association has a website with information on accredited camps that serve people with special needs.

Teens should check out our Planning for Time Away from Home section to find worksheets to think through how a daily routine may be different when spending time away from home. The Kids Health's "Sending Your Child With Special Needs to Camp" article also helps address concerns such as how to communicate with camp staff, what to pack, and how to help if your child gets homesick.

In need? Angel Flight West may be able to arrange free air transportation via private aircraft to and from camps for children and families with financial need who could not otherwise travel to or attend the camp. Treehouse Summer Camp Services may be able to help youth who have an open case with King County Division of Children and Family Services or have an open case with Division of Children and Family Services in another county but reside in King County.
