3 Ways to Confirm Your Special Child is ready For an Overnight Summer Camp

From enjoying summer mornings to a beautiful sunset at lakes, swimming pool party with friends, and roasting marshmallows, some memories from overnight summer camps can be cherished forever. Of course, how can we forget great learning, lifelong friends, and a lot of fun?

Now that you have become the parent of a special needs child, you would want him/her to create all these memories that you did once. But because of your kid's disability, you think that she/he will not be able to attend a summer camp. Well, this is not the truth at all. When it comes to summer camps, they are for every child with or without disabilities. Today, parents can send their children with Autism, Down syndrome, or other diseases to special needs summer camp.

However, before you find the perfect summer camp for your child, you need to know if he/she is ready for an overnight sleepover. In this post, we will explain some ways to find out whether or not your child is ready to attend a special need camp.

 ●       They can manage personal hygiene on their own

If your child with Autism or any other specific need can take care of their hygiene, it is a sign that he/she can be part of a sleep-away camp. It includes brushing their teeth without a reminder, making bed regularly, and showering and cleaning.

 ●       A successful sleepover away from home

Another way to find out if your child is ready to attend a special needs summer camp is if he/she had a successful sleepover at a friend or relative home. When we say a successful sleepover, it means without making thousands of calls to you.

●       Your kid can deal with new situations

Usually, kids with developmental and mental disabilities find it hard to navigate through new situations, which means they always need someone for help. But if your child can handle new situations without any guidance, it means she/he is ready for their sleep-away camp. 

These are some of the ways to know whether your special needs child can attend a summer camp or not. Besides this, if your child willingly asks to go to an overnight camp, then you must find the right summer camp that suits their needs and interests.

If you are looking for a reliable overnight camp that offers summer activities for kids with autism, Asperger’s Syndrome, and Palsy Syndrome, get in touch with professionals at Camp Lee Mar.
