Summer is coming quickly, which means it'll be 110* outside and school will be out in no time! Which means no structure, no stimulation and no socialization for a lot of families with special needs.
I know summer's not all bad, but I also know it's not the easiest time for some families. So here are a bunch of day camps and overnight camps to look into! If you know of one I missed, please let me know. I'll love to include it!
