[quote=Anonymous]Op we are currently exploring these camps as well, so don’t have first hand experience. But based on my research, I get the impression sequoia population is more the adhd/asd overlap, and maybe has slightly higher needs than SOAR. Sequoia is on a school campus, dorm room settings instead of cabins (so only 2-3 kids per room), indoor cafeteria, full access to electricity etc. from asking around, I got the impression these were perks for many of the population who attends, because they would have challenges in a full cabin setting and being outdoors. Versus SOAR seems more like a high energy outlet for adhd kids who may struggle socially in a mainstream camp but don’t have a ton of extra needs compared to the mainstream population. I think sequoia seems more scientifically backed (like, they’ve done their research on best programs for this population, have academic and social skills formal support etc, and a higher staff ratio). Soar seems like a lower staff ratio and incorporates the social skills piece more informally.

But as said we haven’t been to either and this is just based on my online research. Happy to hear others thoughts. [/quote]
