General Information for Parents & Guardians

Choosing a camp for your child is one of the most difficult things a parent can do. When your child has extra needs - either social, emotional, behavioral or learning related - the challenge of finding just the right place becomes immense. Camp Starfish is a place where each child is celebrated for being the person they are, while at the same time, given space and support to grow their skills and self-esteem. 

At camp, we focus on teaching children how to interact appropriately in a social group, play cooperatively on a team, and resolve conflicts verbally and peacefully. Campers also work on individual goals, all while being active outdoors, exploring their talents and interests and having fun. Starfish is a different kind of summer camp. We're proud to receive frequent feedback that campers are returning home having made great strides.

For many children, Starfish is the first place where they can truly succeed, and where they make their first real friend. That's why different is good!
