Session Information
Altitude programs create opportunities for our campers to increase self confidence and boost self esteem through practice, support, encouragement, and positive experiences. We provide our campers with a safe and structured environment so that they can feel comfortable enough to be themselves - and at the same time secure enough to take risks that propel them towards achieving their potential at camp, home, and in their communities.

Valuing the individuality of each of our campers, we aim to highlight their unique strengths and help them to utilize their gifts to confront challenges and develop new skills and enhance existing ones. These life lessons and positive experiences then travel home with them as they apply them at home, at school and in their social relationships.

Cost: $3900.00
More About Camp
Camp Altitude is a two-week summer camp experience for boys and girls with social cognitive challenges who are entering 6th through 11th grades. We are committed to providing a safe, fun and rewarding summer experience that promotes social learning and independent living skills.

Camp Altitude campers are children who are excited about coming to camp and experiencing a traditional summer camp. The camper would have some insight to their strengths and challenges, willingness to grow, and have social intent toward their peers.

Altitude campers function comfortably within a ratio of 3 campers to 1 adult staff member. Our highly trained professional staff coupled with energetic college and post-graduate aged counselors will provide an experience that integrates your camper's unique needs.
