OP here! I am interested in Lab, but is it more geared to kids with language/reading support needs? Language is actually one of his strong points.

No swimming, but our child had a great experience at TLC's camp in Rockville. I have also heard very good things about the camps through the JCC.

Lab school's camp is supposed to great. I know there is an OT component and I think social skills too.
A lot of OTs run camps. It's been so long I don't remember the names. We didn't end up using them.

+1 on Camp Aristotle (at Auburn). It does the social end very well, though not the swimming. The Lab School has a pool and does (or did) run a camp that includes a lot of physical OT. We found it wasn’t what we needed on the emotional end, but that may have been just us, and in any event it was a long time ago, so it’s probably worth your checking it out.

Camp Aristotle is good for social skills and emotional regulation. They don't have swimming.
Some OT places do camps for motor skills. We did one at Fitness for Health but we found that it was not as helpful as actual therapy.

He's very socially motivated but can have emotional regulation issues or withdraw when over-stimulated. Ideas?
Try JCC.

Most of these camps will not be good for swimming. Do year round swim classes at least 2 a week, if not more or a private lesson and practice in-between.
