Summer Camp is Full - Now What?

22 Apr 2025 8:55 AM | Anonymous member (Administrator)


Tips for Families of Kids with Disabilities, Delays or Behavioral Health Concerns

You found the perfect summer camp, called – and it’s full. It’s a big problem for many families, but don’t lose hope.

1. Check out inclusivesummer.com

The Connecting for Kids (CFK) Inclusive Summer Guide includes a directory with more than 150 programs. You can search by age, region, camp length and more. New programs are added every week – so don’t forget to check back.

2. Get Creative

Some camps fill fast – but that doesn’t mean you’re out of luck. You may be able to use a mix of activities to fill the summer gap. Some examples include:

  • Adapted arts or rec programs
  • Adapted or inclusive library programs
  • Church, mosque or temple-based programming (like vacation bible school)
  • City or YMCA recreation programs
  • Therapies or therapy groups
  • Daycare

If you’re looking for ideas the Connecting for Kids (CFK) team is here to help. Call/text 440-570-5908, email info@connectingforkids.org, or choose a date/time that works best for you at connectingforkids.org/askus.

3. Set a Calendar Reminder for Next Year

Now that you know where the perfect camp is, put a reminder on your calendar for next year. Most of the larger camp programs publish their programs around mid-March. If you’re not sure, you can always reach out to CFK and we’ll find out for you!
