Summer Activities for Children with Disabilities

Directory of Summer Camp Activities

Overview

SST8 is pleased to offer to our three-county region this comprehensive listing of summer camp and activity options. This list was developed with children and adolescents with disabilities in mind, knowing that many families can have difficulty finding summer programming that can accommodate their unique needs. However, many of these programs and activities are inclusive and are open to individuals with all types of strengths and needs. 

Information about these programs is gathered and compiled by SST8. We reach out annually to these programs to request that they provide any new updates to their offerings, tuition, or website. If you have any questions or identify something that needs updating, please contact Maureen Cacioppo [email protected]
