Camp Attaway
Biography
Camp Attaway is a three-week summer day camp for children ages 7-13 with emotional and behavioral disorders. It is a place where children who know failure too well can break out of their negative cycles and learn new skills.
There is a screening process for each camper interested in registering for Camp Attaway. The screening process serves four major purposes:
- An opportunity for the parents to share their present concerns about their child’s development in the social, emotional and behavioral areas along with identifying their child’s strengths;
- To gather vital developmental and family history of the camper along with reviewing psychological, educational, psychiatric, neuropsychological, speech and occupational evaluation reports, as well as Individual Educational Plans;
- For parents to identify goals they would like Camp Attaway to address in working with their child;
- For the child to be interviewed by the camp director in helping determine whether Camp Attaway would be a good fit for him/her.
