Summer camps

Submitted by an LD OnLine user on

Hi Everyone,

Does anyone have experience with Camp Kodiak in Ontario? We are seriously considering sleep away camp this summer as an exercise in independence. However, we want to be certain the camp is SAFE.

Please respond with any info you might have on that or other summer camps.

Many Thanks,
Margo

My son has done sessions at SOAR in the Asheville, NC area. Actually a little west of there in Waynesville. Right in the Smokies. (Other locations, too, including the Rockies.) All are camps especially for kids w/LD. Low staff ratio. Lots of social skills and team building kinds of things along with physical skill building.

SOAR has well-trained staff. Both the Exec Dir and Services director are adults w/LD so they understand teaching things to kids without loads of (or even much) coordination. Wonderful folks. Did a lot for my son’s self-image and confidence.
