Description
Each experience at Round Lake is designed to help develop a positive attitude, improve peer interaction and enhance self-image. Campers are placed within a compatible cabin group where constant opportunity for self-understanding and friendship is provided. Friendship and communication are the cornerstones of every camper’s goals. Round Lake Campers have fun, feel secure in their camp environment, make friends, and have an energizing camp experience! Round Lake Camp serves children between the ages of 7 to 18 with a wide array of special needs. Most campers come from both private and public educational settings in which they have been part of resource programs and/or self-contained classrooms. Acceptance is contingent upon interviews and supportive materials which are consistent with camps’ philosophy. Our campers present with a variety of diagnoses including, but not limited to high-functioning autism, ADHD, communication disorders, social skills challenges and learning disabilities.
