**Please note** The Camp of Champs is not the most appropriate setting for every child. If your child has a 1:1 in a school setting, a history of physical or verbal aggressiveness, or sexualized behavior, please contact us BEFORE enrolling.  Our camps are smaller than some other programs. While we have had camps of 100-150 kids per week, we strongly believe that the smaller setting allows kiddos to connect in a deeper way with each other and our highly trained and compassionate staff team. We will maintain a high behavioral expectation for campers and they will be asked to sign a behavior agreement before camp. If you have any questions, please contact us.

​

Not only do we want your camper to be a good fit for our program, we want to be a good fit for them as well. We ARE NOT a Residential Treatment Facility program that is equipped to work with highly aggressive kiddos. Youth who are able to be re-directed, WANT to be a camper, are capable of following directions, caring for others, and desiring to learn these important skills are great candidates. If your camper meets some of this description but not all, please contact us in advance of registering so that we can answer questions and learn more about your kiddo's needs.

Covid-19 drastically altered our ability to operate and continue to operate camp for future years. While we would like to fill all sessions, we will not be able to offer refunds. We will however, reserve the right to offer a replacement session if the reason for cancellation was caused by Covid-19. This will be handled on a case by case basis.
