Camp FUNdamentals welcomes children and youth ages 4-22 to our programs that are looking to meet new friends and practice skills in a supportive environment using the backdrop of nature.​​​​​

We offer year-round programs that focus on skill building in nature for kids of ALL abilities, catering specifically to children with additional support needs. We serve a variety of children and youth including those who have a specific diagnosed disability, emotional regulation, fine and gross motor, or sensory processing needs.

Camp and program activities include developmentally appropriate nature-based activities targeted at fine motor, gross motor, social, and self-regulation skill development in a supportive environment provided by a licensed occupational therapist.

​Our groups are inclusive for kids with varying special needs, providing a FUN, play-based outdoor setting for kids with unique support needs, including Autism Spectrum Disorders, Down Syndrome, ADHD, sensory processing differences, motor skill delays, emotional regulation challenges, and other developmental delays.

​Our group time is semi-structured but also provides plenty of opportunities for child-led and open-ended group play in nature.

Our programs include the following activities:​-

Fine motor activities

Sensory-motor activities

Social engagement/group problem solving

Self-Regulation and coping skills practice

Snack preparation

Nature exploration and FUN!​

Each program is limited to 10 kids to provide a supportive experience.​

Note: Our programs generally provide a ratio 1:3 adult support. If your child requires 1:1 support for participation and/or safety, we ask that you send a parent or PCA with to provide individual support for that child.
