Paladin's Summer Camp provides children ages 5-17 with intellectual and developmental disabilities the opportunity to experience the joy, friendship, and adventure of summer in a safe, supportive, and inclusive environment. Designed specifically to meet the unique needs of children with disabilities, our camp offers meaningful experiences where every child can participate, build confidence, explore new interests, and create lasting memories. Winter and Spring Break Camps available as well!

Unlike traditional summer camps, Paladin's Summer Camp is staffed by trained Direct Support Professionals (DSPs), behavior professionals, and experienced team members who understand the importance of individualized support, sensory needs, communication differences, and creating a positive environment where every child feels welcomed and valued. Camp takes place at Paladin's disability services facility, providing a familiar, accessible setting designed to support children with a wide range of abilities.

Each week features exciting themes, engaging activities, creative projects, games, social opportunities, and hands-on experiences tailored to the interests and abilities of our campers. Children enjoy special field trips, community outings, sensory-friendly activities, friendship-building opportunities, and plenty of summer fun. Snacks are provided daily, and activities are planned with inclusion, safety, and meaningful participation in mind.

For families of children with disabilities, finding a summer program that provides both fun and the right level of support can be challenging. Paladin's Summer Camp gives children the opportunity to enjoy a true camp experience while giving families peace of mind knowing their child is cared for by professionals who understand and celebrate their individual needs.

At Paladin, we believe every child deserves the chance to laugh, learn, connect, and experience the magic of summer.
