Special Camps for Special Kids

Camp Huntington is a co-ed, residential, seven-week program for children and young adults with a variety of special needs. The program is designed to maximize a child's potential and develop their strengths and hidden abilities. Camp Huntington offers a unique program approach they've developed: Adaptive Therapeutic Recreation. Your child will enjoy the fun-filled days of summer camp while learning practical life skills. All of their activities are instructional in nature and are designed to stimulate a child's awareness and interest in their environment and in relationships, while building their confidence, self-esteem and growth towards independence.

Camp Huntington was established in 1961 as a privately owned residential summer camp for boys and girls with hidden abilities, such as Learning and Developmental Disabilities, ADD/HD, Autism Spectrum Disorders, Apsperger's, PDD, and other special needs. The Camp Huntington program caters to individual needs and cultivates personal growth and emphasizes development of social skills, independent living, vocational orientation and speech and language ability.

Camp Huntington strives to develop a thorough understanding of each camper's specific needs with the main program goal to create a positive and comfortable setting for your child. Within this setting, campers are exposed to a wide range of daily activities that inspire confidence and independence. A common result of a summer at Camp Huntington is that campers are happy, relaxed and motivated.
