Camp Buckskin is an overnight summer camp that specializes in serving boys and girls ages 6-18 who are experiencing academic and/or social skill difficulties. More specifically, the majority of our campers have AD/HD, Learning Disabilities, Aspergers or similar needs. Our campers have average to well above average intelligence. They also have a world of potential in many areas that has yet to be developed. They simply need extra help and support to convert their potentials into abilities.

Since our start in 1959, more than 8,000 children have benefitted from our therapeutic program. These young people have experienced a great deal of personal growth and improvement as reported by those who know them best - their parents, teachers, and other involved professionals.

The Buckskin program effectively utilizes the summer to help youth not only stay focused, but gain knowledge and skills while improving existing abilities. These new abilities and skills help produce a smoother transition to the new school year. Perhaps more importantly, these gains also help them to become happier and more successful.

The campers receive instruction in a mix of traditional camp and some academic activities each day. As they acquire knowledge and demonstrate skills, they progress through the various levels in each activity, and are recognized for their achievements. Passing levels and receiving the attendant awards are the more 'visible' part of camp. The less visible part features our Personal Growth program. Parents select several social skill goals for their child to work on. These learning opportunities help our campers improve their peer relations, interpersonal communication skills, problem-solving abilities, and a variety of related skills.

The program really works on two levels, providing a holistic approach to learning and development. Camp Buckskin's focus on personal growth and academic improvement makes it an ideal environment for children with special needs to thrive, make friends, and learn valuable skills that will benefit them for years to come.
