Introduction

Here are some resources for finding a summer camp. Some of these identify camps available to all children and some are especially for children who have disabilities. It is also very likely that your community has summer camps or recreational opportunities available, that you won't find listed here! To find out what's available in your community, consult these local sources of information—your child’s teachers, parks and/or recreation departments, area private schools, religious organizations, other community groups, parent centers, and fellow parents.
