Why is Summer Camp Beneficial to Children With Special Needs?
Special-Needs Children:
- Have stressful lives
- Often lack positive life experiences
- Are often social outcasts
- Usually have low self-esteem/self-confidence
- Often lack positive role-models
At Camp they get:
- Respite from the stresses of their daily lives
- New & exciting experiences
- Many new friends
- Opportunities to succeed daily
- Exposure to positive role-models through carefully selected camp staff
At camp, children are not their reputations or diagnoses; they are individuals who are just as likely to succeed as the next child.
