Introduction
This is a guide to some
directories and listings of
summer camps. Some resources
identify camps available to
all children and some are
especially for children who
have disabilities.
It is also likely that your
community has summer camps or
recreational opportunities
available, that you probably
won't find listed in these
directories! To find out
what's available in your
community, consult these
local sources of
information—your child’s
teachers, local parks or
recreation departments,
religious organizations,
fellow parents, and community
groups.
