School's out, summer's here, the kids are excited and the parents are worried.
If this describes your family -- if the thought of three months without the structure and supervision of school has you concerned about your ADD/ADHD child's continued healthy development -- you need to know two things: You are not alone, and an excellent source of assistance is just a phone call (or mouse-click) away.
In the historic town of High Falls, New York, (in Ulster County, nestled between the Shawangunk and the beautiful Catskill Mountains), a renowned summer program is in the midst of its 50th year of offering "exceptional camps for exceptional students."
Since its establishment in 1961, Camp Huntington has provided thousands of special-needs students with life-affirming (and, in many cases) life-changing summertime opportunities. Here's how Camp Huntington's website describes the program's effectiveness:
Camp Huntington has successfully developed a unique program that caters to individual needs and cultivates personal growth. Our comprehensive program emphasizes development of social skills, independent living, vocational orientation and speech and language ability. Those who have attended other regular or special camps without effective response have found their new experience at Huntington to be particularly rewarding and beneficial.
Camp Huntington, which offers specialized summer experiences for campers with ADD/ADHD, is still accepting applications for summer camps. For details visit the Camp Huntington website or call 866.514.5281.
