It does, and I know people who give it rave reviews, but it does not accommodate picky eaters, so if food selectivity is a comorbidity, it may not be a fit.


The sequoia program has a wide food selection to my memory. Maybe try there.

The American Camp Association has lists of different types of camps. I imagine it would make your kid feel better to be among similar kids who struggle and not have to feel like the odd one out. Best of luck.

Just throwing this out there. There’s not a location around here so it only works if you have summer flexibility

There are a number of different locations:
Cleveland
Cincinnati
Kansas City
Florida —I think it’s Miami

There are others but I don’t remember them off the top of my head.

If your kid has any interest in Percy Jackson, I would check out Camp Halfblood in Rock Creek Park. Lots of ND kids, they are outside all day, and the staff are mainly theater people. They also handled my kid’s afternoon ADHD meds really well.

Wow. Just wow. My kid came back empowered and confident from their ADHD-specific summer camp. A springboard for growth.

My near extreme picky eater attended SOAR last summer and *loved* it.

Camp Kodiak in Canada has also been recommended favorably by many.

SOAR specializes in ADHD.

Sequoia has an all girls program she might like.
