The number of ADHD diagnoses continues to grow. This has led to an increasing number of camps specializing in ADHD or offering support for this disorder. Below, find ADHD camps by city and region.
For those with ADHD, there are other possibilities besides summer camp. ADHD support is offered in the winter, fall, and spring through a range of programs. This includes ADHD schools as well as after-school and year-round ADHD programs. Use our site to find the right option for you.
ADHD is one of several types of special needs camps. If your child has ADHD, you might also look into the following.
Special needs camps (general): These camps support kids with a broad scope of special needs, such as learning disabilities, developmental disabilities, and behavioural issues.
Learning disability camps: If your child has a learning disability (such as dyslexia) in addition to ADHD, you might consider one of these camps.
Autism camps: These camps support kids with autism spectrum disorder and asperger’s syndrome. These may also support kids with related issues, such as sensory processing disorder.
Troubled teens camps: These camps, like troubled teen schools, support teens with behavioural, emotional, and social issues, who are experiencing major challenges in their adolescent years.
ADHD camps enable kids to acquire critical knowledge and skills. This can be useful during childhood, the teen years, and throughout one’s life. These skills can foster success at school and at home, and promote your child’s overall development.
Here are some skills and knowledge your child may acquire at an ADHD camp:
In addition to acquiring essential skills, ADHD camps have other benefits as well. Like many other camps, they can enable your child to have fun, thrive, and develop confidence and high self-esteem.
While this varies, many ADHD camps offer a wide range of activities. This includes the following:
Choosing an ADHD camp is not an easy task. You’ll want to find a camp that provides the right support and allows your child to thrive.
You’ll need to look at whether the camp provides the right fit for your child. Consider these questions.
When looking at specific camps, it’s important to speak with directors and staff and visit them whenever possible. Learn as much as you can about each camp to gauge whether it’s the right match for your child.
You can dig deeper by asking them specific questions:
Also, ask about activities and daily schedules:
For further advice on choosing the right camp for your child, check out the following resources on OurKids.net:
Camp might seem like an easy decision, but it’s not. It’s best to get a lay of the land before you make your decision. A great place to start is the Our Kids camp expo, held each winter in Toronto. You’ll find many camps there, including ADHD camps, and you can speak with directors, staff, and campers. We also offer valuable information sessions at our camp expo.
Finally, to learn more about ADHD, including its symptoms and diagnosis, consult the following sources:
Mayo Clinic: Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder in Children
CDC: Symptoms and Diagnosis of ADHD
American Psychiatric Association: What is ADHD?
How many ADHD camps are there?
There are 90 ADHD camps that are Our Kids trusted members. Use the filters to narrow options by age or type, then click on each organization to read reviews, browse program schedules, and access registration details.
What are the fees to attend ADHD camps?
Fees for ADHD camps range from FREE to $12,000 per program (program types and lengths vary). Use the filters here to narrow programs by age and type.
What age do ADHD camps start at?
There are programs available for children starting at age 1. Family and adult programs are also available.
