Day Camps, Sleepaway Camps, and Summer Programs for Children with Special Needs in Manhattan

UPDATED April 2019: Finding the right programs for children with special needs to have fun can be a challenge—especially if the camp your kid wants to attend doesn’t have the proper support for children with special needs. We took the guesswork out of your summer camp shopping and compiled a list of summer camps in and near Manhattan that are either only for children with special needs or offer services and programs for children with special needs in a mainstream setting. Day camps with programs for children with special needs are located in Lower Manhattan, and sleepaway camps for children with special needs are located in the Poconos and High Falls.
