[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op back. I looked at Sequoia and Summit and wow that’s expensive. Wow.

Perhaps what I’m looking for is more of a quirky camp that would be understanding and accommodating. She’s done well before at a variety of daycamps but really thrived at Camp Half Blood that naturally attracts quirky kids.

She’d like a more independent experience at a sleepaway. She did a 3 day mini camp at a YMCA camp and had a good time. [/quote]

The dc area sleepaways (or anything in the NE) are all going to be similar in price to Sequoia and Summit.

I think you should look at Kodiak.  Also camp tawingo in Ontario - not SN but a traditional camp that is accepting of quirky kids and of kids with SN.

Also, last year I chatted with "The Camp Lady" - basically a brokerage to find a camp for your kid; they get paid a fee by the camps when you register at camp.  I didn't find that service helpful at all, but fwiw here is the list of non-SN camps she suggested that were good fits for quirky kids with SN but who didn't have big support needs. I can't vouch for these at all, and it's possible she recommended them not because they're great for SN kids but just because they're on her list of clients.  No idea!  We decided we needed a SN camp so didn't call any of them. But including them here just in case.
