Camp

We have three therapeutic day camp programs, offering three levels of staffing, depending on your child’s needs. We are located in West Seattle and open during school holiday and summer breaks for children needing specialized care due to behavioral difficulties. Staffed transportation is available!

Our therapeutic recreational camps are unique because they are designed for children with behavioral issues, mental health diagnoses, developmental challenges, or for those in special education.

Our camps feature fun, physical, and therapeutic activities in our recreation spaces and in the greater West Seattle community. Staffed by our skilled and trained behavior specialists, the camps are open for children ages 5-18 or up to 21 for those still enrolled in school and living in King County. Camp runs during Winter, mid-Winter, Spring, and Summer breaks and staffed van transportation is available for specific pick up/drop off sites.

Camp Specifics and Structure

Our camps are staffed according to the camper’s specific needs, with a variety of staff to camper ratio options including 1:1, 1:2 and 1:3 ratios. Campers are assigned to a “POD,” a family-like group with whom they stay all day. Every morning the POD meets to review goals, behavioral expectations, and activities for the day. A lead staff supervises and works with his or her POD throughout the scheduled activities and programming. Campers are engaged in activities including board games, task boxes, and POD outings, including activities at the park, geocaching, swimming, beach, hiking, crafts, science experiments and more.

Staffed van transportation

Campers may also be dropped off and picked up at camp. Camp rates vary from $350-$1,250 per week depending upon the level of staffing, and transportation needs.
