Camp Huntington
Camp Huntington was established in 1961 as a residential summer camp for boys and girls (6-21 years of age) with hidden abilities, such as Developmental Disabilities, Learning Disabilities and ADD/HD, Autism Spectrum Disorders, Asperger's, PDD, as well as other special needs. Camp Huntington's program is specifically designed to focus on Adaptive and Therapeutic Recreation. While attending Camp Huntington, your child will experience the joys of a fun-filled summer in a beautiful country setting.

Since its outset, Camp Huntington has successfully developed a unique program that caters to individual needs and cultivates personal growth. Their comprehensive program emphasizes development of social skills, independent living, vocational orientation and speech and language ability. Those who have attended other regular or special camps without effective response have found their new experience at Huntington to be particularly rewarding and beneficial.

Camp Huntington's programs:

• Autism, Asperger's and PDD

• Developmentally Disabled

• Learning Disabled, ADD/ADHD

SUWS
SUWS wilderness programs have been specializing in providing a safe and therapeutic environment for troubled and defiant teens to identify and work through emotional obstacles for 25 successful years. The obstacles that have kept inherently good children from responding to parental efforts, schools, and treatment in the past are removed in SUWS' wilderness environment. Experiential learning helps students learn to value themselves, access their own abilities and build upon their strengths.

The success of SUWS has been measured in many ways, including an independent study that found the participation in outdoor behavioral healthcare resulted in clinically significant reductions in the severity of behavioral and emotional symptoms.
