Summer Programs for Children with Developmental Disabilities

Overview

Commonpoint is proud to offer programs specifically designed to meet the social, emotional, educational, and recreational needs of children with autism spectrum disorders and other disabilities. An individual interview is required for each of these programs so that our professional team can welcome your child and assist in the selection of programs that would be most successful.

Pathfinders Program at Island Quest Day Camp

At Island Quest Day Camp, we empower children to experience adventure, create lasting connections, and uncover new passions, and we firmly believe that all children are entitled to all of the above. With this core belief at heart, we strive to make those luxuries accessible for everyone, and set campers with developmental disabilities up to adapt and thrive in the caring, safe, and especially engaging environment that we’ve carefully created.

Our day camp specialize in serving children 5-21 who have developmental disabilities. Campers have the adventure of full day summer camp experiences at the Henry Kaufmann Campgrounds with occasional field trips.
