Summer Camp 2026

For Children Ages 5-12

Camp Overview

Our camp program is designed as a small-group, communication-focused experience led by a team of Speech-Language Pathologists (SLPs) and Communicative Disorders Assistants (CDAs).

With a low 1:4 staff-to-child ratio, each child receives individualized support within a structured, engaging environment that promotes meaningful interaction, confidence, and connection.

Unlike traditional camps, this program is intentionally designed to:

  • Support speech, language, and social communication development in a natural setting

  • Provide consistent adult guidance and modeling throughout the day

  • Offer a calm, predictable setting that supports a wide range of communication styles

What About the Horses?

We strictly focus on unmounted activities such as grooming, feeding, and leading the horse, while focusing on communication.

This combination of specialized staffing, low ratios, a communication-focused environment is what allows us to provide a high-quality, deeply supportive experience for each child.
