General Information about Day Camp for Parents & Guardians
We know there are a lot of things you're looking for in a summer experience for your child. Fun, safe programs. Well trained and mature staff. A place where your child can grow, and where we know your child by name before the first day.
Plus, if your child has some unique needs, there are things you're definitely not looking for - like big groups of kids without a lot of supervision. Or a camp
where your child will have difficulty making friends and participating because the necessary individualized support simply isn't available.
Luckily, you've found Starfish.
Welcome! We're unique: our staff-to-camper ratio at day camp is 1:2, all the time. Our program integrates coping- and social-skills building into everything we do! And, respecting individuality is at our core. We encourage you to read through the website to learn more. The links on the left or bottom of each page will guide you.

Featured "Question of the Week:"
Q: "I heard about Starfish from a friend. My child doesn't have extra needs,
but the camp sounds like a great place. Can we register anyways?"
A: Absolutely! While camp is structured and staff are trained in such a way
to ensure that all children regardless of need can be successful, we are
always happy to include any children in the program. Starfish provides the
same quality, fun, safe, and exciting summer opportunities for all. One of
the Starfish Tools is that we are respectful of others, and we find that our
campers with challenges and our "typically developing" campers both
have a lot to teach each other about friendships and fun at summer camp.
