Tips for Finding Camps that Can Offer Accommodations
Don't forget to check with your local school BASP (Before After School Program) to see if they offer summer camps! These smaller camps might be able to offer some accommodations as well.
For kids who have respite care, check with camps to see if they could allow a respite worker to accompany your child. Each camp has different abilities to make accommodations, but they might be able to work with you. It never hurts to try.
