Special Needs Camps

Helping kids with unique challenges

Special needs camps in Canada offer a range of services that meet the needs of children with specific physical, emotional, behavioral or medical challenges. Some camps focus on children with cancer or other medical conditions; others have programs for children with autism or attention deficit disorder.

Whatever their mandate, and whether the camp provides shadows or support staff or requires parents to send someone familiar and experienced in working with their child, these camps have staff trained to cope with children with special needs, as well as challenge and offer them a rewarding time at camp.

The medical staff and facilities at these camps are adapted to meet the needs of the children they serve.

Some general residential and day camps include programs that integrate a number of children with certain special needs. Other camps are completely focused on meeting the needs of children who need specific adaptations and support to enjoy camp. Special needs camps are one of many kinds of specialty camps.

For more information, please take a closer look at our listings of special needs camps below. Please note that our sister site, camps.ca, also offers a close look at special needs summer camps. That site focuses on kids camps and has a growing body of background information and advice.
