Additional information

JOYweavers’ 5-week summer camp provides community, mentoring relationships, and programming in a small supportive environment. It is a place that celebrates children’s strengths and successes, and one that recognizes that every child may have moments where they need more help. Our low camper-to-counselor ratio allows for one-to-one support as needed and the “in the moment” coaching that helps children find success in group activities. We are committed to problem solving with children and caregivers to ensure accessibility and maximize each child and family’s engagement and sense of belonging.
