Most of the camps are diagnosis specific.

Age 9, ASD (HFA), Adhd combined. A handful! Bright, energetic and motivated.


My kid with a similar profile did well at TIC. They don't offer one on one, but they do have small group sizes.

Tic camps are great, but depending on the level of support your kid needs, it may or may not be an option.

Can you tell me more about tic? I’m not familiar. Love imagination stage! I’ll have to explore this option.


It's a camp that includes physical activity and technology. My kid hated the playing soccer for example, but really liked the tech aspects. The camp tries to be inclusive of kids with mild needs, but they can't give as much support as imagination stage or Jcc can. They have locations in md, dc, and va and run late in august. I think they had a half day option when we did it.


Interesting that your kid hated playing soccer at TIC. My kids (one on the spectrum, one not) liked the sports because there wasn't any soccer playing -- there was capture the flag and gaga and quiddich and a bunch of other games that I had never heard of. This is on the DC campus -- I wonder if it varies by location. And no half day option.


It might've been something other than soccer. I remember kids running up and down the field and my kid along with some others not really into it and putting in a very half hearted effort. Wasn't quiddich that much I do remember.

Thanks for this info. Tic doesn’t seem ideal but I’m glad to know about it

Last year Basic Concepts did an August session for the first time. Don't know if they're going to do it again. KTS runs camps through July and half of August but I believe that to do August you have to have been enrolled in July. Both of these work on academic skills and are not "fun" camps like JCC.

Try Fitness for Health. We did two years ago in late August.

True, nonetheless I have been pleased with their level of support and inclusion.

Hi parents, outside of JCC (where we may be waitlisted) do you know of therapeutic/supportive camps that actually have camp in session in mid to late August? Thank you!
