Welcome to
Some special-needs camps begin offering summer-related special sessions, workshops, reunions and other special programs as early as March. Dates, availability, and program details can vary by camp.
Many of our Special Needs Camps are still adding to their info on their 2026 Summer Camps, Programs, Activities & Classes.
There are some wonderful summer camps and summer programs out there for kids and teens with physical, learning and developmental special needs, where they can have fun every day in an active and caring summer camp environment.
Many private summer camps have been designed around the special needs and disabilities of their campers. For instance, there are special needs summer camps specifically for children with amputations, or diabetes, or for campers who have some form of cancer. Some of these camps have doctors and/or nurses on staff.
Other camps take a more adaptive or "Inclusive" approach for special needs campers, providing special access, equipment, sessions or programs for campers with special needs, but otherwise operating as a traditional day or overnight summer camp. In many of these camps special needs campers participate along side of the non-special needs campers in many or even most of the camp activities.
Parents need to talk with each camp IN DEPTH to make sure they offer exactly the right program and facilities for their special needs camper.
