Summer Camps and Activities Throughout Southern Maryland

Looking for a summer camp or summer activity for your child that fits his or her special needs? Here is a list of some of the local options available to you!  You can always contact the organizers and staff of any camp of any kind and discuss whether the activities are appropriate for your child, whether accommodations can be provided, and whether concerns regarding food, toileting, safety and support can be reasonably met – and you should do so, especially if you have non-disabled children who want to attend camp too!

But sometimes you may have a child that needs a little extra support, or who may present challenges that a neurotypical or non-disabled child might not present. So we offer this list of camps and activities that might help you in making decisions that are appropriate for your child as well as stimulating, hopefully cheap, and loads of fun!  Don’t see a camp offered here that you know about?? We welcome additions to this list; email them to jnicholas@autismsupport-somd.org and we’ll be happy to share your information!
