Summer camp for SN 3rd grader

[[e-mail]]

Two summers ago, I was able to find a reading "camp" for my then rising 1st grader with processing and retention issues. It was essentially summer school, but the teachers had a fun approach and integrated lots of cool learning games. I found it did wonders for DD overall. Her skills were much sharper as she entered the school year whereas the previous year she nearly started from scratch again. Is anyone aware of a similar program for this summer for reading and/or math? I'd also be interested in any other suggestions for camp that provide an inclusive environment for SN kids. DD is at a 1st grade level overall and also has a issues re: motor skills. We live in Bethesda and work in downtown DC. Thanks

Depending on what kinds of supports she needs, the McLean camp/summer school is good with kids with mild issues. The Lab school also has an academic camp and a pool!

JCC of NoVA has a SN camp I'm considering, though it would be a bit out of your way. Perhaps the other JCC's do as well. They're open to all religions.

OP, what is the extent of her 'motor' delays? There are several possibilities, but many will not accommdate severe motor needs.

OP here. DD motor delays are not severe, but she is not particularly athletic. For instance she has passed swim tests and can hold her own in the pool. But, she hasn't yet perfected her stroke as she can't quite process how to kick, stroke, and move her head in and out of the water all at once.
