North East Westchester Special Needs Summer Day Camp
Our Summer Day Camp Program provides an opportunity for children and teens with developmental disabilities to experience the benefits of participating in a local, community day camp program. Participants enjoy a six week program packed with swimming, field trips and a variety of special activities designed with the specific support needed for success in this environment. We provide at least a 1:3 staff ratio; individual assessment; on-going evaluation and collaboration with family members, school personnel and other outside professionals.
Please help us keep this calendar up to date! If this activity is sold out, canceled, or otherwise needs alteration, email mindy@kidsoutandabout.com so we can update it immediately. If you have a question about the activity itself, please contact the organization administrator listed below.
A spot does not guarantee placement in camp but improves your chances! Please fill out forms completely and attach their immunization records, if your child has a physical coming up please provide last years physical for the time being and we will update upon receiving the new physical.
The camps are staffed with nine experienced and competent specialists who are responsible for planning activities for the campers. Our specials include: Art, hobbies, gym, music, aquatics, outdoor education, horticulture and more!
